Vietnam

I got back from Vietnam yesterday - what an amazing country! We went to Ho Chi Minh City where I saw the Cao Daism Holy See, the Cu Chi Tunnels from the war, went to the War Museum, saw the Reunification Palace, went to a huge indoor market, ate pho and goat meat, and shot an AK47 :) Then we went to the capital city of Hanoi and visited the prison where POWs were held in the War (including John McCain), saw some Chinese temples and Catholic Cathedrals, saw a water puppet show, ate gelato and shopped for warm clothes (it's cold in the north!) The next day we went on a boat trip in Ha Long Bay, where we kayaked and swam and slept overnight on the boat - it was cold and cloudy but the bay is beautiful and so strange looking. Pictures are here!

I have a little cold now (it was bound to happen) so I am trying to get over it by the time Mom comes out tomorrow. We have a few days in Hong Kong before going to Cambodia - I am so excited to continue exploring Southeast Asia! I never want to leave this place
