We leave for Bangkok tomorrow morning, we will be taking an overnight bus to Chiang Mai, Thailand. If we get robbed while we are sleeping, Christine will blame Audra.... But if Christine looses her backpack, that will be her own fault... :)
The last four days have been filled with some great times, and some sketchy times... We have taken taxis that have ripped us off, then tried to walk to avoid the taxis, only to be almost hit by seas of motorbikes. But our times here were filled with pleasant experiences as well. Yesterday, we took a private cooking class where we learned how to make banana lotus salad, carmelized pork in clay pot, steamed rice with ginger, and sweet and sour starfruit soup with clams. It was all so delicious and was a highlight of our trip so far... :)
The day before, we took a day tour out to the Cu Chi Tunnels where we were able to climb through tunnels that the VC built during the American War. It was quite the experience as we were able to walk through an authentic tunnel and see the Vietnamese perspective on the war.
Audra of course, has enjoyed a plethora of new tropical fruit. We went to a fruit stand and picked out every single fruit we had never seen or tried and are still working on sampling our selection.
Being in Vietnam was definitely an adventure. We learned many lessons and have had many great bowls of pho. See you Chiang Mai!
Love you all,
C & A
