Yesterday's trip

Yesterday's trip was quite an experience! It's taking forever to post these photos, so I'm going to wait until later to post the ones from our trip. Our bus picked us up at 8:00AM and we had a two hour trip. It was interesting because there were people from the US, Vietnam, and Australia. The Australians were funny--they kept saying things like "that crazy nutter." They also explained to Eddie what vegemite is.....he's apparently always wondered. We tourted the ancient capital of Vietnam, Hoa Lua....about all this is left is two temples dedicated to two monarchs who ruled about 1,000 years ago. Then we went to lunch and on a boat trip....it was absolutely beautiful scenery.....but it was freezing cold and raining and windy! Poor baby Eddie didn't like it at all. We only had a think blanket and rain poncho to cover him with. He wouldn't eat when he was supposed to, so we ended up making a bottle in the middle of the ride--not easy pouring formula powder in the wind. He was REALLY upset. Poor guy. I felt like the worst mom in the world.....we just didn't know the weather would be so horrible!

He was so happy to get "home" to the hotel....he had a great time playing and squealing and looking cute.....he was so riled up that he didn't go to sleep until 9:30.

Today we are mostly just hanging out in the hotel....we're so worn out from yesterday. Tomorrow we have our first embassy appointment and doctor visit. Progress!
