Shop till you drop.......

Shop till we drop was the moto of the day. Dropping in Vietname happens quickly. After breakfast, we headed out to our favorite hot spot, the Ben Than market......it is loud, crowded, smelly, but a favorite none the less as bargains abound! Our outing lasted about 2 hours.....then the droppong began. Kids were hot, hungry, and cranky. We went to Wrap and Roll for lunch, a place we discovered two years ago. Very good food and cheap.....we like good and cheap. Back to hotel for naps. The jet lag is hitting hard, but we plan to be good to go tomorrow, a full day Mekong Delta boat trip is in store for tomorrow.                                   

The kids turned their $$ to                                                            
    Dong and are ready  to go .                                                                                                                 



Upon returning to my hotel, I hear somebody yelling "Mom"....I looked up and my son Tuan, who is here in Saigon, was looking for us. He looks great, ever so handsom. We visited, he had a cell phone all ready for me to use,  ( such a good boy always taking care of his mother). We made plans to meet for dinner, his birth mother invited us to each at their home, but it will be better to go eat out, then go there and visit after. We will be meeting up with other family this evening.
