Not too much time to write here. We are in Vietnam. So far we have had no illness. I have had problems with swelling, but it seems to have subsided since the 10 hour rest I got last night..thus still trying to adjust from jetlag. My brain goes into overload quite easily with all there is to see, hear, and think about.

 Right this minute we are literally in Thuy's village, around the corner from her house, where she brought us and immediately typed in this blog address...memorized...so it has been her visiting the site over the months. I can't tell you how that encouraged me. We are setting up an email account for her so we can comunicate more directly..with a little help from yahoo translate (thanks to Dan and Beth). We are going to requesst she get off scool next week so she can go with us to Saigon, and so we can look into an english tutor.

 It has been overwhelming in so many ways. I have been taken out of everything familiar. I have been giggled at and have stopped traffic. I have survived the crazy traffic. And I am enjoying catching up with our friends the Vo family.

Can't wait to post pictures!!!
