While Granma was visiting, we decided to take her on an adventure to get a glimpse of the beautiful Vietnam. We began our journey in Ho Chi Minh, which the locals still call Saigon. A busy city of 9 million people with plenty of motorbikes and street vendors. The intriguing thing we found was despite the hustle and bustle, the Vietnamese still maintain a calm and relaxed composure while commuting. We packed as much as we could have in 2 days, including a boat ride to the Cuci Tunnels, two motorbike tours and of course the local market. In the morning, we were quite ready to hop on another plane which in a quick 30 minutes, took us to the magnificent and laid back Phu Quoc Island. There, we spent the following 4 days vegging by the pool, on the beach, stuffing our bellies with Pho and other yummy dishes (which included fresh baguettes and ham, which I ate every day!). Jared got to do his first official dive after getting his license while I snorkeled and sunned. The day before we left, Lynn and Jared decided to be adventurous and took off for a few hours to explore the island on motorbikes. Now, if you want more details on this story, you will have to call Lynn yourself! What a treat being able to explore yet another country, unique with its own traditions and landscapes.
