still waiting in Tam Ky....


We're still waiting around here... and it's *still* pouring down rain. Jasmine does not like to be in the room, so we basically sat on the front porch of the hotel the entire day yesterday. This morning we went to the "grocery store".... kind of like one of our K-Marts... sort of:) Today is "Teacher's Day", so there were literally *thousands* of kids there.... I am not exaggerating...... We could hardly get down an aisle way. We bought some crackers and stuff for our flight to Hanoi, as well as a little aoi dai, a jacket and a cute blouse. Some things are so cheap here, like clothes. I think I paid the equivalent of 50 cents for the blouse and $2.00 for the coat, but other things are much more expensive than the US.. like diapers for example.

Tomorrow morning, we will take a van back to DaNang where we will pick up Jasmine's passport. We'll probably go to China Beach and maybe do some other sightseeing over the weekend. Then on Monday, Jasmine has her physical exam and I have a Visa interview on Tuesday. We will get the Visa on Wednesday and most likely fly home on November 27.... Two weeks here total.

Here she is sitting on the porch coloring. She is actually smiling, laughing and playing alot today.
