We have arrived! After a very long day (days) of traveling we have arrived in Vietnam! All of our flights were on time, we made all our connections and and got all of our luggage. Praise God! Our hotel is nice and the food is great. We even got massages at the hotel today. We each had a one hour massage for a total cost of $34.00.
We met up with Hung and his 5 year old daughter Vy. Hung gave us a great tour of Saigon which included shopping and a visit to the War Remnants museum. This mueum was previously called the American atrocities against Vietnam museum. It was a very difficult thing to see.
We exhanged our money for the Vietnanese Dong. And since the U.S. dollar = 16,083 Dong. We are feeling pretty rich. We are also feeling like a novelty. People have been amazed at David's heigth. At 6'1" he may be an average sized American man, but here, he is more like Goliath that David. They have also been facinated by my blond hair.
Tomorrow is the big day. We leave in the morning to travel to Bien Hoa (about an hours drive) to the orphange where we will meet Sarah. Please keep us in your prayers.
Also, please excuse any typos or misspelled words. The blogspot website is in Vietnamese so I can't figure out where the spell check is.
