Same Same, but Different A short blog of our adventurous trekkings across Viet Nam

The eagle's call.

VIETNAM | Thursday, 15 July 2010 | Views [140]

It's about to rain and everyone on Bui Vien street is scurrying around trying to take shelter.  We're down to our final 150,000 VND (around $8 USD) to get the taxi to the airport and it sort of feels like it's time to go.  Thanks for sharing a great experience with us. Please be praying that we get on the plane safely.

This may be more for the team than anyone else, BUT... Ben and I went and had a massage this morning down the street from our hotel. The tiny Vietnamese woman worked Ben over like a greco-roman wrestler.  I was next to him and there was a fair amount of grunting and other noises, especially when she was standing on his back and pulling both his arms back!  He says he feels great now though so it was well worth the $15 USD each (including tip).  My experience was good but not quite so primeval! I guess they take it a little easier on the ladies?! By the way, while we were sitting and enjoying the foot massage/reflexology portion, can you guess what music was playing???  It was the "La Cucharacha" and "Obladi" mix with the eagle's call from the original 2 day van trip!  It made us laugh and we thought we had to share with you (esp. Danny & Heidi).  Hope you all arrive safe in TX.  Lots of love!!! Can't wait to tell you about yesterday's interesting developments.
