2. Patience: I guess this goes hand in hand with being flexible.
3. Sore Bottoms: This happened because of all the waiting around, meetings and lectures we attended today.
4. Caffeine: A key ingredient to start, continue and sometimes even end your day with. Tonight we went to Joma's for dinner and I think I had the best cafe drinks ever. First a London Fog, which was an Earl Grey tea latte followed by an iced coffee latte--both completely delicious!
5. Caterpillars: Lots of people have told me to try something new, so I decided why not eat a bug. Today in the hospital cafeteria they had caterpillars. I really ate one (actually several) and thought they were pretty good. They tasted like peanuts that popped in your mouth. But the more I ate them, the more they appeared to be crawling around in my stomach, which caused me to stop eating them. But who knows what interesting food I may eat tomorrow.
6. Nap-time: Anyone that knows me knows how I love my naps. This has been a crucial element for survival in Vietnam due to our busy days. I guess it's a combination of the heat and hard work, but the mid day naps have been wonderful.
Alrighty, time for some sleep and preparing ourselves for new adventures tomorrow.

I'm very impressed with you eating a bug! Awesome. If Vietnam is anything like Thailand, I hope you guys are enjoying the late evening strolls at a Night Bazaar (which is also a great place to buy trinkets and work on your haggling skills!). Enjoy the ice cream at Fanny's. Have you tried some Pho soup from a street merchant? I can't wait to see the pics y'all must been taking out there. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteThe late night evening strolls have been ươnderful. I've had so much Pho it's coming out my ears, even for breakfast and it's all been delicious. Ưe've done some haggling, but most ưill happen on Friday ưith the help of our translators. All's ưell hêre.
