Sunday happenings with Andy in town

Andy's friend Karl arrived in Saigon today. We spent the day cruising and walking around the city...

We went to the Crab 'shack' restaurant for a great dinner... went hungry, left stuffed!

After dinner we went back to the backpacker area (Pham Ngu Lao), where they've booked a cheap-cheap room at Chi's Cafe. We had some drinks on an upstairs balcony of a restaurant... nice view, ncie breeze... but the nicest --> no hawkers!


I plan on meeting up with the guys after the school day tomorrow... then they have tickets for a night bus ride up to Nha Trang... then on to Hoi An. They're planning on then riding motorbikes from Hoi An up to Hue -- which is supposed to be an incredibly beautiful ride... coast/sea on one side and mountains on the other! I hope they love it. ...From Hue, it's on to Hanoi and either Ha Long Bay or Sapa for them. I love their plan - sounds awesome and I wish I weren't working so I could go with them! It's been a lot of fun to have family in town for a bit... definitely a needed breather at the end of the school year.   :)
