Back Home in Texas

After Vietnam, there wasn't much of a culture assimilation shock (is that a thing?)  Because I came home to my mom and dad making me banh cuon, one of my most favorite dishes EVER!

Aren't they cute?

Aren't they delicious looking?

Drove back to Austin in this mess

Went to a going away party at the Ballard's for Chris & Amy (and little Ev!)

Isn't she adorable???

Played Mafia.  It got intense.  Hence the hands

Had breakfast at Whole Foods with Caleigh on the day she went to go find a place to live in Temple.

Vietnam Part 12: The End :(

Last night in Vietnam, last dinner at David & Zoe's.  We ordered in from the Indian restaurant that was soooooo goooood.

MORE MANGOSTEEN!!!

Zoe & David's gift to me.  I cried a little when I left.  Not a ton though.

A bracelet from Zoe's parents' store

Waiting to fly out of Hanoi

Always on a wing

Fun stuff at Changi Airport in Singapore

Not the prettiest day, but what a pretty airline.

And then I got on a plane.  And then it was all over.
