Day 2-VietNam

Tam and Donna did not sleep last night.  Barry and Medko slept like the rocks they are.  Donna tried to around 1am, but as soon as her head hit the pillow Tam walked into the room and they were together until about 6:30am.  So this made for an interesting day.  After breakfast Tam was ready to come back to the room and sleep.  He slept for about 2.5 hours.  We woke him up to go out exploring.  He has had a rough time with all the smells and smoke.  He can handle it if he is well rested, but not today.  He said he was having a hard time breathing.  We think he was just exhausted and could not handle it. Once he got some food from Truc Lam Trai he perked up.  Thank goodness!!!  Both pagodas we visited were "closed" - one we couldn't go in, the other we could, but there was no activity except for some external renovations. 

After lunch we came back to the room for a little rest before heading out to see the Water Puppets.  Both Tam and Medko loved it.  They could not take there eyes off of the stage.  We really enjoyed the music this time.  It was a great night.  The boys really enjoyed walking around the city at night.  We got to see the biggest cockroaches we have ever seen attacking some food on the street!!!  Tam, of course, wanted to touch it. 
We have enjoyed our time here in VietNam and look forward to coming back once all the kids our older. Sorry...no pictures yet.  We am hoping those once we get settled in China and we will be able to upload them. 

In the morning we are meeting Hang for some coffee.  Hang is a dear sweet person who we meet 5 years ago while here with baby Tam.  She could not be any sweeter to meet us at our hotel.
