April 2013 – Vietnam

Springbreak took us to the beautiful country of Vietnam to explore starting in the south in Ho Chi Minh, (formally known as Saigon) up country to the beach town of Nha Trang, then our favorite little hamlet, Hoi An followed by Hanoi and Halong Bay.  It was an amazing trip seeing such diversity through our travels.

The Vietnam War still has a huge unseen cloud over the country.  I found it fascinating to hear the perspective of the war from the local people, especially once they knew we were not American.  Such devastation and pain still has lasting effects on all sides from the war that ended 36 years ago.

Exploring is an adventure for all of us.  We have many laughs, eat great and at times interesting food while cherishing our time together.  Once again I could not be more thankful for my this crazy family!

I created a video of our time away so sit back and enjoy seeing the sites of Vietnam.
