SATURDAY is probably best left unblogged. Dad went to work after a round of wrong brand of yogurt, wrong weetbix cereal, ruined bathtowel from eye makeup and apparent snoring. i was to have gone out with sally cox but she was a no show so i departed at 1030-11 for the city. went to saigon square for some retail therapy, post office and cathedral. lunched at the hyatt alone on a cheeseburger. returned to AnPhu compound about 430. wore white knit capri and black/white stripe top with pink trim. evening went to hyatt again wearing brown/white dress with blue ribbon belt.
SUNDAY dad swam, i walked to river with my coffee and took pictures. after breakfast dad went for his weekly massage and i went to saigon square again for more bargaining. met dad for lunch a K Cafe which is japanese traditional restaurant. tempura, shashimi. very good and i did it all with chopstix. walked to dong koi street (tourist shops) art gallery, antique shop, book shop. taxi home, took walk to pool. dinner at mekong merchant (pizza, salmon carbonnara). black white skirt and white shirt all day!
MONDAY finally made it to the White House aka Presidential Palace around 930am. This place is very important in history. it's where the surrender of south vietnam took place to the communist north vietnam leaders. see flickr photos for documentation of the interior. then got a bit lost on the streets headed to le loi street. completely muddled up so took a taxi to check out some shops. taxi home about 12:30. wearing khaki capri and leopard print tee. need to work on garden which is overgrown but can't communicate to Mr.Hai that it needs to be severely pruned. saw another ups truck. love talking to everyone on skype....better than phone call. tonight the plan is to stay home (and it looks like Mrs.Han has some meal planned which is really wonderful).
you are getting very good at blogging - including pictures and changing colors! you go! are you learning any vietnamese words?
