We returned safely from our weekend trip to Sapa. It was a wonderful trip overall. However the train ride home was horrible. Six adults and four babies in a 6x6 cabin with bunks stacked 3 high. No AC and no matteress. The bunks were Vietnamese sized and much to short for me. But we survived the 10 hour ride with a very unique experience. We arrived back in Hanoi safely, minus our camera. We were dissappointed to lose it, but relieved that we only lost one day of photos.
Tommorow we have our VISA interview at the US Embassy. We dropped off all the paperwork today. Please pray that the interview goes smoothly and the VISA is processed quickly.
Tomorrow morning we are going to visit Ho Chi Minh's home and tomb before the interview. We will probably spend most of the day Wednesday packing (and coming up with unique ways to pack all the stuff we bought here).
We miss everyone so much. But we especially miss Aiden. I cankt believe that we will actually return home this week. We will have been gone nearly a month by the time we get home. WOW! I hope I remember how to drive (I have learned some very interesting manuvers while here). I think we could solve a lot of St. Louis traffic jams if we could just ignore stop lights and drive on the sidewalks. It seems to work well here. : )
Thanks again to everyone who is helping with Aiden. We can't begin to express how thankful we are.
