Quick catch up of the last few days

Still with the same group of people but added on benny the german. Days are starting to run together. I've had a few rough days, but that's a personal story that I'm praying will resolve soon. I have faith it will.

But one night benny, matt n I went out for a beer and ended up sharing some noodles and beer with this 80yo vietnamese dude who spoke broken english because he lived in the US for many years after getting out of a vietnamese prison reeducation center. Pretty interesting and cookie fellow.

Next morning we took a 3ish hour van ride to halong bay where we took a boat around and went kayaking and saw some caves. Was pretty cool although our captian was kindof a jerk.

After a ride back to hanoi, we had a two hour break before we hopped a bus to Hue (pronounce hweh) this was a sleeper bus where the seats are my shoulder width and recline to layign and they're angled so your legs are under the seat infront. And there are two levels, luckily I was stacked on top. It was about a 14 hr ride, with a half hour break after the 12 hr. Luckily I somehow slept a lot of the way and was absorbed in my thoughts the rest of the way.

We only have about 24 hrs here to see stuff but most things are closed early afternoon for asian siesta.
