Back on the Road: Global Musings of a Chicana and her Travels

This started as a way to keep in touch with close friends and family while on my first trip off the continental U.S. to Viet Nam in 2009. It became a journal of personal experiences for myself and a sharing of one perspective on Viet Nam, its spectacular country, and beautiful people, for others. Now I have the opportunity to return this summer and to visit another country across the pond- the Philippines, I will continue my postings and bore you once again ;o)

The day gets more exciting!

Thuy just showed up with her sons, Thanh and Hoa (both super cutie), Truong which we just figured out is her brother-in-law, and 2 kids, one deaf- a new one we've never seen before. The woman we think is the owner is up in our room searching our things with Thuy! They are pointing at things and saying stuff to us about our snacks. We have fruit, crackers, and jello- what's up! The other lady said that's what's making us sick...I don't think so! I guess we are having guests for dinner tonight. This is waaaaay beyond my personal bubble space, eeeeek!!!!

    Noralee, ma said to eat rice, crackers, or bananas because bananas have potassium. It will put some of the nutrients back into your system:) She said eat stuff with starch so it can stop the runs.) I hope and pray you and your group will get better soon.
