Last night was the Saigon finale. We ended the evening with the long-awaited trip to the salon….. and there are just not words to describe it.  Find us later if you want the not-ready-for-prime-time account because we are still laughing about it!

Today was a travel day. We flew to Danang (some may recall this from Tom Selleck’s hat in Magnum, PI) and then took a 3 hour drive up to Hue. We both had a PTSD moment from India 2011 during the plane ride. Luckily, the drive was quite uneventful and also quite beautiful.  We drove through the mountains with a coastline visible, through small rice villages, up to Hue. Hue in itself seems to be a beautiful, clean city.  We have an amazing view from the hotel.  The architecture has changed from that of Saigon, there are  pagodas and an Imperial China influence (I believe).

Tomorrow we start clinic and have a 5 AM wake-up time.  Sounds early, but that is what time the sun comes up here.  Vaca over, time to get to work!

Here are some pictures snapped out the window of the van on the road to Hue…. the honestly do not do the countryside justice.

And the view from the hotel….
