Catching you up

I guess we haven't said much about what we got to see/be a part of in Quy Nhon - likely a by-product of the saturation effect.

We were there to see two friends of mine from the days of Mariners College Group - Jason & Jill. Jill's prego with their first baby and oh so ready to meet her baby girl this summer! Both of them teach English and we got to be a part of some classes - because they're learning about geography/describing countries, it was a perfect time for us to share about where we've been so far. They had questions about the different foods, different clothes ... I don't know if it's possible to walk into a friendlier room than each classroom we visited.

Quy Nhon is a small town - mostly a fishing port; thus all the pictures of the vibrant boats. As soon as you get out of town, everything is green and wet and full of rice fields. It is absolutely beautiful - hopefully some of the pictures can give you a glimpse.

One of our favorite things to do was ride our bikes along the beach road - on the one side were beautiful islands out in the water, but on the other side was very real life occuring in front of you. Many of the homes were literally chopped in half to create the new road - it's still the family's home, but now half of the walls/roof are missing. Crazy.

Best of all was just the simple time with Jason, Jill, & their co-teacher Mark. It's so fun to laugh and share what the Father is teaching along this journey of life. Every time I think about sites or activities that fill the guidebooks, I also remember that I wouldn't trade the time that we've had with Family.

And now we're in Bangkok; we just have three days here, but as soon as we catch up from the last 30 hours of travel, we're excited to dig in.
