Nehemiah woke up smiling.
First bath, he did great.
Nehemiah slept wonderful last night and woke up pretty early. By the time 8:30am rolled around he was already tired. He ended up napping all morning so we just had breakfast and hung out at the hotel.
We had lunch at the Sushi Train across the street then headed off to tour the Cu Chi Tunnels. We went with the Robbins family and had a fun time seeing all the sites again. Adam and Brandt shot machine guns and Adam went deeper into the tunnel system than he did two years ago. The men loved all the war history and the women loved all the cheap souvenirs. Our tour guide was all jokes and kept us very entertained with stories of how all the beautiful Vietnamese women have left to marry foreigners and how rubber trees became so popular in VN. (start of birth control)
We met a lot of friendly people today. After a great conversation with a guy at the market he said, "see you later alligator," we taught him after while crocodile, it was cute... the other guy asked how much our baby cost. When I told him you never pay for a baby, he said, "oh just a souvenir".
We are packing up tonight and will head to Hanoi tomorrow. Our time here has been amazing. I even love the honking. Weird. I love the hardworking people, my heart hurts for those who are lost and lonely and seem to carry the weight of the world on their shoulders. But we feel at home here even if we are just visiting. We are so thankful for our time in this rich city and look forward to bringing our kids here someday.
"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
