i don't really have much to say. nha trang has turned out to be a little disappointing, or at least it's weather has. four days in a beach town and four days of rain. bummer. there were two highlights, though:
1. we found a restaurant that serves really good ice cream. it may not sound like much to you, but i've been in withdrawal for two and a half months and have come to fully appreciate the value of a quality scoop.
2. we went to some thermal springs and mud baths today. not really a great experience, but a fine one when you consider highlight number one. basically, you sit in a big tub, and a pipe squirts soupy tepid mud into it. it was actually pretty disgusting, but a new experience nonetheless.
with so little to report, you may wonder why i'm writing at all, and the answer, dear readers, is to kill time until we get on a bus. this entry is more for me than it is for you. the bus will whisk us north, just a short 12 hours, to hoi an. god help us, the weather will be nicer, because if ashley and i have to play one more game of gin rummy, one of us will likely snap.
we have a phone now, as well. not sure it works, but if you're feeling lonely, give it a try. the number is: 01265420385, and i think the country is 84. we're having a tough time making outgoing calls, so the ball's in your court.
and that's that. hope to hear from you.
