some happy students
Last night we mentioned that we haven't had banh mi yet, and sure enough when we woke up there were 4 banh mi sandwhichs waiting for us. Just as we polished those off we received a Skype call from Yvonne's family back in California. This gave her parents a chance to catch up with everyone here.
autograph time
Afterwards we visited some classes to speak English with the students. We also had some Dragon2 toys to give away to the students that asked questions to Dan in English. One student asked what Dan's phone number was and all of the students grabbed their pencils and paper right away. (This is one of the 12 questions they can ask in English) In another class we gave out toys to the students that had the 5 best scores on their most recent exam. Both Dan and Yvonne signed many autographs.
rooftop bar at Rex Hotel
In the afternoon we went to church with the whole family. After church we grabbed the motorbikes and went into the city to see some sights. We saw the cathedral, post office, and a few well known hotels. We grabbed a drink on the rooftop bar of the Rex Hotel which had great views of the city and was once a popular hangout for western journalists during the Vietnam War.
On our way home we grabbed some ice cream in a coconut and stopped for some bun bo hue, another soup and noodle dish.
