Good Morning Vietnam!

We made it to Saigon! Vietnam is not a huge fan of Facebook or Blogger, it appears, so our posts for the next few weeks may be few and far between.

Highlights of our first two days in Saigon:

• Sarah bought a pink and purple ice cream from a cart, and ate most of it before realizing the rotting fruit scent she kept smelling was coming from her cone. It was durian flavored. Yuck.
• We were enjoying a half hour boat tour on the Saigon river, until our little boat broke down. We sat on the boat for almost an hour while our poor captain tried to fix his engine. We were eventually rescued by another boatsman, but left our struggling captain behind.
• We visited the War Remnants Museum, and learned more about all the horrible things the American military did here. We tried to keep a low profile amongst the schoolchildren.
• We learned, the hard way, not to take pedicabs around town. They are pretty awesome though - we got bicycled right into lines of traffic of hundreds of motorbikes heading straight for us.
• We've eaten lots of noodles.

Now we're off to explore Vietcong tunnels and fire an AK-47 today!
