HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Our last day in Saigon consisted of more royalty treatment from Peter and his friends. They took us on a 3 hour (one way) motorcycle journey from Saigon to a little vacation spot on the coast of Vietnam.

Mini- Louie

Omigoodness, I wish I had a picture of Grandpa to put beside this one! Identical (especially the pant-in-armpit look!!)

Killing Fields

The mass graves for the thousands of prisoners of S-21

Donation

A shirt for some blood....good deal!I've gotten so good at shopping, I don't even have to pay for clothes now!

Funny Sign

Just in case you forget how to use a toilet!!!!

Our Temple

You think in 800 years, our temple will still be here!??!

Sunset

Absolutely breathtaking!

Tonle Sap Lake

The lake was huge and it gets bigger apparently...that's a lot of water!!

Floating Village

The entire village is on water...even the church!!

Boy in a Basin

Only English he knows "1 picture, 1 dollar!!" but he was worth it!

Bus Trip

We were warned plenty about this "fun" bus ride, but had no idea just how "fun' it would be!!

GOSSIP
So I am so glad you both had a great christmas! Hanging out with those kids must have been so fun! They look so cute. Well you asked if anything major in the gossip world happened to update you.... well there is a rumor going around that Angelina is pregant with Brad's baby (you never know if that is true) but thought I would let you guys know for something fun to think about. Enjoy the rest of your travels Jamie
