Well, I am in a hotel room by the LA airport. We had a delay earlier, which made us miss our other flight. We leave the middle of the night tonight and will be in Alabama in the morning. Although I really want to be home, a few down hours and a great hot American style shower is really a great trade off. My brain is swirling with ideas in how to share all that we've seen and experienced. The pictures are great, but by no means say enough. It's not just what we saw, but what we felt as we visited with Thuy and her family, toured, and ministered in a remote area of the Mekong Delta...see what I mean?? And then, yesterday during our layover in South Korea we were treated to a tour of Seoul and traditional Korean dining. That scrapbook I bought cannot possibly be big enough. I had all of about 48 hours af stomach trouble on our trip, which was helped by my precautionary CIPRO that I brought. It is good to be back in the states, where I can read the signs and I am not sticking out like a sore thumb all the time, although I do think L.A. must be some sort of alternate dimension.

 Pics are coming soon...there are about 200 to sort through, so between the massive number and the jet lag it may take a week or so, but they are on their way!
