deep breaths

So, we're still in Tam Ky, but thanks to the unflappable Mrs Hanh, we managed to get the money to take the train home this afternoon (Sunday). The plan (though we know how well those work for me) is to catch the 3:30pm train, arriving in Thanh Hoa tomorrow at 8:30am. Keep your fingers crossed it works. We are stuck at the volunteer house alone. Everyone else went to My Lai/Quang Ngai.

I did get some work done on my new web site, so I guess that's good. And Mrs. Hanh took me to buy peanut butter and jelly since I couldn't find it in Thanh Hoa. Some progress, but booooooring.

At least we got to see the kids and give them things they need. We also gave some of our cash over to the volunteers here who had done some fundraising and are buying meds of all sorts for the orphanage. Very good cause.

So thank you to everyone who gave us money to get stuff for the kids, it went to good use and I'm happy to have been the conduit, even if it didn't come off so smoothly. I will post pics (and a video) on Monday.
