What a beautiful day this is. Warm, but not too bad. I woke up pretty early, but Ron took me all around and showed me the surroundings. We ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes, then had breakfast at the restaurant here at the apartments. My stomach said it was night time, so I wasn't very hungry. We took a cab to the Co Op market to buy food for a few days because during Tet, a lot of restaurants and markets are closed. I think everyone else in Ho Chi Minh City was at the market too, and I saw things for sale that I've never seen before! We got a big pork roast, some fruit, snacks, wine, and huge bag of salt - which we couldn't use in a year, but that's all we could find! Carie picked us up in a cab around 4 and we drove to the flower market and flower street. Because of the Tet celebration of their new year, the street was one stall after another of beautiful flowers and plants. When it got dark the lights were unbelievably beautiful. We took plenty of pictures, had dinner at a french bistro and took a cab home. I almost fell asleep in the cab!
