bad bug bites

So we had our first social occassion and went to a coffee shop owned, in part, by one of the students at the Economic Zone--Mr. Bao. There was an older fellow, in an even older tuxedo, playing sax and accompanied by others. Nice, but overly loud. I ordered a delicious yogurt drink and the kids both enjoyed their hot chocolates.

We'd ridden our bikes over and everyone had sprayed or rubbed on the bug repellant. Everyone, but Stuart, we later found out. We arrived home after 9pm and he saw a couple of bites, but by the next morning he could count 20 on both arms. Awful.

So lesson learned. Wear bug repellant in the evenings. Always.

Audrey is feeling better. Stuart finally caught it and is spending the day in bed right now. Probably not sleeping due to the constant horn-honking, but he's attempting to get some rest and get back to health soon.

And who knew that cactus grew in Viet Nam?
