Snack Time
Yesterday evening Audrey and I headed over to the supermarket, while Stuart got some much needed time alone, to do some shopping. We picked up some more water, some plastic cups (after breaking a glass one on the tile floor) and some snack foods: Lemongrass Chicken Potato Chips, Brazil BBQ Potato Chips, milk (the yellow package), some yogurt gellies and some cream wafers. And all together, it cost 38,500VND (just over $2).
For dinner, we headed down the street to the Banh Mi shop we'd visited two years ago with Becky and Ettie. Now that I can't eat wheat I had to go without, but we bought three and the kids could share. For all three, it was 15,000VND (83 cents). We got banh mi trung, a baguette with egg, shredded pork, vegetables and homemade mayo, freshly made by these young girls. The one on the left fried up the egg, while the other sat awkwardly, trying not to stare at the foreigners.

Man, I'm pretty darn jealous of those prices!!!
Shouldn't pineapple be CHEAP in Hawai'i? C'mon!!
Those yogurt gellies look yummy!!
I must say, reading this actually makes me miss Vietnam a little. So many emotional moments when we were last there, plus the desperation of just trying to get out of the country safely with Lee. I now realize I didn't enjoy it all enough. I think that it just wasn't possible to enjoy it all during that trip.
We plan on going back some day. Not sure when we will venture there since our youngest is only 4, but it is something we plan on doing.
Just sent over some donations via paypal. Let me know if you think I am way of on the cost of the ao dai. Not sure what the cost is, but we love Me Ba so much. Please convey to her how much she is loved and appreciated. We think of her every single day. She blessed us all by loving Quang the way she did.
Enjoy! I will be reading,
Rhissa
