OK, so anyone who is a betting man knew that we’d have to use that one. Cheap shot, I know.
Meanwhile, it isn’t really morning yet. But with jet lag and time zone changes, I have been awake off and on since midnight. Need to be up at 4A to catch our flight to Hue so 3:30A seems as good a time as any to blog as we eat our complimentary dragon fruit (very cool, like sweet jicama with teeny black seeds), green bananas and green oranges.
Just wanted to catch up on yesterday. It’s a bit of a fog but here are the highpoints to finish the day.
Walked around. Sweated like pigs. Marveled at the teeny tiny tables and stools that everyone sits on at the local eateries. Really like little step stools or pre-school furniture. If Michael even attempted to sit on one, well, he’d never get up again and we’d just have to use him as a planter. He’d look disproportionally immense rather like Will Ferrell in the movie, Elf.
Huge wedding going on here last night. Why on a Thursday?, I wonder. But the reception was set up on the courtyard right under our supposedly quiet, away-from-the-street standard room. So we complained (what with our 4AM wake-up call) and got a bigger room on the other side. The wedding party was in bright yellow with red trims…the guys’ suits were reminiscent of the Beatles and made of shiny silk material. And more than one woman other than the bride was wearing a long, formal white dress. Hmmmmm?
Unfortunately, it was raining cats and dogs so we ate on the sidewalk outside the hotel to watch traffic go by (plastic poncho clad vespa drivers all over the place) and saw some unlucky guests who arrived that way entering the hotel with the sides and legs of their fancy attire all wet. Boo hoo.
Slept well when we slept and really looking forward to getting on with the trip.
