The Only Way to Travel in SaigonThe Only Way to Travel in SaigonThe Only Way to Travel in Saigon

We took pedi-cabs around Saigon-two pagodas and a five story crazy market.
Good evening from Vietnam,
Saigon to be exact. We traveled seven hours on a bus from Phnom Penh to Saigon-smooth sailing except for the crazy American guy who put his bag next to mine on the x-ray machine and kept shouting "Be Good" to all of the customs officers.

The bus dropped us off exactly in front of the hotel we stayed last year. Checked in, found our favorite pub, and booked tickets to Hoi An tomorrow evening-all in under 2 hours from arrival. It is so much easier the second time!

En, our young lady who helped us last year remembered us with a scream and a hug. Her twin as well. Should have a fun time with them tonight.

Saigon is still crazy traffic and crazy people.

Nice to be here again.

1. Put hole in bag. 2. Throw at base of flame. Seriously, we have no idea why this bag of water was on the wall.

I bought incense and made a blessing in all of the pots-a special one for Dad on Father's Day!
