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

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.

Vietnam Part 9: Back in Hanoi

If I'm being honest, I think Sommer and I were a little travel pooped.  We spent a large part of our day watching DVDs and movies in bed.  I went and got us food at Joma (cause, duh, it's awesome), I went shopping at Magonn, (cause, duh, it's awesome), and then we met David & Zoe at another location of Quan An Ngon (cause, duh, it's... you get the point).

My purchase.  Love it!

Quan An Ngon

An Ngon indeed

We're just happy with any kind of food, really.

And... yes.  This was our bathroom's setup.

Vietnam Part 8: Last day in Saigon

Prettiest Post Office

Inside the post office.  With a giant ass picture of Ho Chi Minh

I tried to get a picture of Nha Tho Duc Ba with the same angle that Dad painted it.

Sommer is hungry.

Mel has food now, so she's happy.

Mom talked me into going to Nha Tho Fatima 45 minutes outside of downtown Saigon

It was pretty though...

Best part of that ride was that our taxi driver made us listen to Vietnamese/English music that I swear Anh Vinh used to have.  It had her favorite song, End of the World:

Our flight back to Hanoi could be summed up with 2 words: Delays & Babies

LOOK AT THAT BABY!

David met us at the hotel he booked for us.  Right by Nha Tho Lon, awesome.
