The day before

We finally found a nice quiet place in this city - the History Museum. It's just down the street from the Somerset HCMC. I think the botanical garden and zoo is also in the same area. There was a little musical instrument shop at the museum and the people who ran the shop gave Dave and I a demonstration on one of the Vietnamese traditional instruments and then let us try to play it.

Dave getting a lesson.

Dave wailing out.

They also had a water puppet show. It's also a traditional Vietnamese art form. It contained a few short skits.



In the afternoon we had a Shiatsu massage - also right across the street from the Somerset HCMC. Trained therapists for $10 /hr. We'll definitely be going back there.

Tomorrow we leave for Tra Vinh at 4:30 am to get our son. I can't believe it's finally happening!!!!

    Hi Lill and Dave,
    It worked! Thank you for your help. We can understand that you are bit nervous for tomorrow, after all it will be a very dramatic day for all of us. We can't wait to hold little Daniel in our arms.
    Love,
    Mom and Dad
