Baby Eddie is doing well! He's so good-natured. And cute! Everywhere we go people talk to him and try to hold him. One old lady even came over and told me to put his hat back on. He seems to be feeling somewhat better, but I don't think he's totally himself yet. He has slept almost all the way through the night for the past two nights.....only waking up once each night. He's had several baths, which he really likes! He also really likes looking at the board books I brought him....especially the one with the mirror and the one with the pictures of babies. He will study each page for a long time. It's so cute. He also enjoys walking around town in his carrier. He seems to get bored if we stay in the hotel room too much.
Today we went to the "Temple of Literature." It was really interesting....it was Vietnam's first national institution of learning and a good example of classic Vietnamese architecture. Then we ate dinner at KFC! It was so good....I've been dying for some real American food! Usually even if you order something Western on the menu, it still has odd flavors, but this was the real thing. Yum. Amazing how much something "normal" makes you feel better. We also watched a CNN show about the presidential election and I actually enjoyed it because it was just so familiar-feeling.
Tomorrow we leave for an overnight trip to Halong Bay....It is supposed to be just beautiful....the highlight of a trip to Vietnam.
