Orphanages Part 2 and Nhatrang

After much delay I will pick back up with the remainder of my Vietnam trip. Must get these updates finished so I can let you know about weekend trips camping, visting AZ for Spring Training, and being home for Easter. So many blog updates... so little time. :)

During the middle of our trip our group was able to spend 2 full days at the orphanages. Part of our group made up a small medical team and were able to treat dozens of the nuns and children. It was awesome to see them able to address some medical problems, give advice, and provide funds for medicine to treat some ailments they diagnosed.

The children were definately the highlight. So sweet, caring, and fun to be around.

The youngest children lined up in their play room in the infant dormitory. Their sweet smiles and loving affection stole our hearts.

Where there are children, there is laundry... lots of it! The fence for the garden makes a great place for line drying clothes.

After leaving the orphanages we traveled a few days and eventually ended up in Nhatrang, a gorgeous beach town on the South China Sea. Warm salt water, sandy beaches, and some much needed resting and relaxation were in order.

Two weeks minus Keith made for a sad Chanda. :)

Amazing views and a diverse collection of travelers from all over the world. Plus, it was our first chance to have ice cream since leaving the US which made for happy travelers.
