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)

Sunday was a blur!

I spent my one whole day off sleeping with the ac full blast- oh what a wonderful day! Now it's around 2am Monday morning and I can't get back to sleep. This past week felt like a month with all of the changes in schedule, meetings, and adventures in the heat and rain we had. I tried to post messages a couple of times but either the internet was down or the government is on my tail already- it just wouldn't work.
This week we are teaching Monday and Tuesday then heading to Hai Phong on Wednesday for that conference that everyone here has been buzzing about. We plan to stay in Hai Phong the rest of the week, hoping to take a trip to Ha Long Bay for a night or two before returning to Thanh Hoa to continue teaching.

Thomas won't be returning with us to Thanh Hoa since he will be going home on the 7th of July. We figured it isn't worth it for him to travel back and forth so many times if he is leaving at that time so he will be staying in Hai Phong and flying out to Ho Chi Minh City on the 6th to fly home. I'll miss Thomas. We have been each other's sidekick this whole time.
Thomas when I showed him my passport and told him that I had gotten mine back and didn't know why he didn't get his back. (I was actually given all 3 of them back but I wanted to have a little fun). He searched everywhere thinking he had gotten it back but couldn't remember where he had put it.

That's my diaper he's wearing! Don't ask, just enjoy the show hahaha!

We bought face masks and had some fun sporting them on the way home. There isn't much to do in Thanh Hoa when we aren't teaching.

Jello hanging out of his mouth after I had my turn playing with mine. We don't have much to do when we are back at the hotel for the night so we get creative!
