We Did It, We Did It!!!

Mom and I ventured out again and we actually found our destination by foot and we actually found our way home by foot!  Jon didn't want to go souvenir shopping so he stayed behind again with the "boys" - has a nice ring to it don't you think?!?!  We found a lot of cute stuff and we found a restaurant we're going to try tomorrow night, "The Green Mango".  We're really getting daring now.


Florist!


Mom was eating some donuts that she bought from a vendor...
the lady was helping herself in mom's wallet and kept pulling out mom's US dollars!

The electrical cables just blow my mind!!


Sharon...this picture is for you! :-)

Jon checked with the airline and there are no available seats during next week, but she said to come again on Tuesday and check with them.  But he arranged for us to have at least 1 front row seat so we'll have leg room and a basinet for Fredrick.  3 of us will be in another row so we'll just take turns sitting with Fredrick.  I did a count and there are only TEN days left before we leave!  I'm not sure what's on schedule for tomorrow but Saturday we're planning on going to a water puppet show.  As long as we keep busy our days will go faster.

In almost 11 years of marriage and a couple of years dating, Jon and I have NEVER stepped foot into Pizza Hut in Montreal but we come to Vietnam and guess where we ate...


Mom said her chicken wings were "amazing"!  Go figure...  Oh and mom wanted me to mention that someone thought she was my sister!  They were shocked to find out she was my mother!

Here are some more pics.  I desperately want to upload a video of the traffic here, but it doesn't seem to want to load.  Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

Yes the bib says, "I love mommy"...I couldn't resist!

So do you think people will be confused when they see us as a family in Montreal?!?!
We sure get some strange looks and giggles here!

    Hey you guys - look forward to this blog each day to see what been happening - especially seeing the hydro lines - remind me of all the cables that you need to have to get your laptop or desktop to do what you want it to do. Scary!!!
    Glad to see you are enjoying yourself! Pizza Hut in Vietnam - is it better there or in Canada!
    Praying for an early flight home!! Cheers Steve & Megan
