Bryn and I hiked up a mountain and Bryn almost ran into this spider. You can't tell by the picture but it was about as big as my hand.

Mai Chau
This last weekend, I went with a group from church to the countryside village of Mai Chau. The trip was a time to hang out and relax. While most of the group took a bus, about nine of us went on motorbikes. The motorbike ride there took about three hours and was probably my favorite part of the trip. The road we were on eventually made its way up into the mountains. For me, driving on winding roads in car is about as fun going to the dentist. When riding the motorbike up the mountains, however, I cherished every twist and turn. It was awesome. I wish I would have been able to stop and appreciate the view but we were in a time crunch so no pictures from the ride up. However, I did take some pictures once we got to Mai Chau.

I have really enjoyed the last blogs. I imagine your host family really appreciates the genuine interest you have in them and their culture. I particularly enjoyed the video clip of the burial ceremony which ends with a guy answering "hello" on a cell phone. I found Hoa Binh and Vinh on the map. It all looks beautiful and fascinating. Puffy is glad you're a cat. She hopes this means you won't eat cats. Dad
ReplyDeleteThese pictures do a good job of giving me a sense of that place. Great Job!
