We have been languishing on the Vietnam shore of the South China Sea for almost three weeks. To the east are the Philippines, to the south is Malaysia and China is north.

Wow!
Sure sounds like a fine time. I am just off for a ski along Jacks Road with Sandra Hoy, so although I think I would like to be where you are, at least we have real winter here now, and can enjoy it! xo Liz

House Of Pho !!
Hey guys ! We loved seeing the pictures. Especially that one of John's tropical Queen ! So glad you're having a great time there. It sounds and looks fabulous, especially the food. Our Army of 6 marches on it's tummy as well. Speaking of that, that brings me to the subject line. Our two favorite noodle houses at home here are Veitnamese Pho houses. One in Dartmouth, and one in Halifax. Just the mere mention of driving by one of them brings shrieks of joy from the kids. Sorry I missed you guys this summer. It's always feast or famine with me at work. Take it while I can get it. Elaine and the Boys were really glad to see you at the Festival in Wood Islands. Looking forward to seeing you both soon. Lookinf forward to the next blog entry as well. Take good care. Love to both. Pat and Elaine and Boys.
