Hoi An in brief
We spent the weekend (and too much money) in Hoi An, but we are back in Tam Ky. It's nice to be "home." Hoi An is very touristy and a bit obnoxious at times, but I'll explain more in my next big post about our trip, complete with recommendations.
I got my boots and I'm a happy camper. They are striped in a black/grey/dk. pumpkin silk dupioni. Very cool, tail-kickin' boots. I also got a black linen skirt, a chocolate brown linen dress (a copy of my vintage dress, see photo below with Goolie), brown dress shoes and a light cotton floral dress. Stuart got a pair of brown plaid shorts and black leather jandals (flip-flops). Audrey got a pair of crop pants, a tee for swimming and some pink plastic jandals. Fun, but tiring.
I'll post more soon. For now, I have to go work up a lesson plan for the 6-7 year olds at the Home of Affection. They are a trying bunch, but hopefully they'll learn to love me.

Those are some awesome books! I just wanted to stop by and say Hi. I've been following your blog because it's so interesting to see Vietnam from a non-Vietnamese's POV. I'm about to move to Vietnam too, so reading your experiences definitely helps!
I see no other recourse for me than to visit you next year. Will you still be there? Alas, my parents say Italy's already on the schedule for 2007. And if they're springing for it, I can hardly say no. But dude. I want those boots.

Love the boots!
Just caught up on all your entries - so glad you and the kids (they look so grown up!) are doing well.
