Week 237 and Week 149.5 - Dan L in the house!

Ok - so this really is my latest blog post EVER.
So sorry - just got back from Vietnam with Dan visiting Neil.  I foolishly thought I could blog between phos, banh mis, and massages in Ho Chi Minh City.  Apparently I could not.

I really enjoyed visiting Ho Chi Minh.  Way better than Hanoi for some reason.

A better and more time sensitive blog post to follow next week (just in time for Halloween).  Promise.

Uncle Dan!

You can buy puppies on the street for $15 US.  We wanted to smuggle in this guy:

The palace was bombed by a helicopter like this one and it was the start of the end of the war in April 1975:
