Where Did the Week Go??

Erin and Cam have come and gone to Ho Chi Minh City and I still have not updated the blog. We were having way too much fun catching up. Erin's visit was very special to me. It is almost exactly ten years ago that Erin and I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, travelling overland from Cambodia. Sharing Vietnam all over again with Erin has brought my experience here full circle. Our life here now is a much different experience than we had many years ago. We sure did not enjoy the comforts of a home or knowing where the best places to eat in the city were. Nevermind those highlights, I think Erin was just happy that we were able to provide a bed without ants and breakfast included!

It was a busy week! We welcomed Erin and Cam with Trang's pho ga dinner. The next night we headed out to the Ben Thanh Night Market where Terry, a mutual friend from Calgary who recently moved to Kuala Lumpur, joined us. The following night we took a dinner cruise on the Saigon River to celebrate a friend's birthday. We then woke up early on Saturday to head to the beach where we enjoyed lunch and pool time at the Anoasis Resort. By the time Sunday came, we were all exhausted and ready for a relaxing day and evening barbeque on the patio while enjoying the music coming over the wall and gate from our neighborhood restaurant.
