Last Day in Ho Chi Minh

Adam was able to help me get those pictures up. The top one was taken the day we met him at the orphanage. Yes, he was wearing OSU orange (a good sign!) The picture of him sleeping was taken on the bus ride back from Can Tho. The last picture was taken in our hotel room.

Right now it is 9:30 on Friday morning. Last night the Dillon staff members took our group (4 families) to a nice Vietnamese restaurant. They served everything family style so that you can try some of everything. One interesting thing they do is cook the steamed rice in these small clay pots. When the rice is done, they break the pot with a hammer, then throw the brick of rice across the restaurant to another waiter so that that all the shards of clay that might still be in the rice get thrown out. Ethan was fascinated by that, and by the inside waterfall that was right by our table. It kept him quiet. Adam did a good job of holding him while eating with chopsticks. :)

This morning has been really nice because we didn't have to get up early and go anywhere. We'll check out of the hotel at noon, then our flight leaves for Hanoi at 1:30. We'll see how well all the boys do on their first plane ride. At least it's only 2 hours long! Oh, Adam got to change his first diaper today too. I had given him a break up to this point, but it's time to start sharing the responsibility. :)
