Freckles...the glitter of skin disease

Kris Morrow you have a delicious mind. Like butterscotch pudding I want to swim in it then take a shower because it's dirty. Chris and I retraced my steps through the south from the beginning of my Vietnam trip. We played around in Vin Pearl, got kicked out of a hotel in Hoi An, and partied a little too hard the night before we parted ways in Hue. It went by way too fast and there were definitely too many hours spent on buses trying to tackle as much as we could in two weeks. We kept busy but didn't necessarily keep out of trouble. We witnessed a heated argument on the magical bus from Nha Trang to Hoi An, never a dull moment. Needless to say the Vietnamese got rather aggressive with a French man who didn't want to sleep with four strangers at the back of the bus, can you blame him? Especially when there isn't designated bus seats. Calmly as he could the man said, "I will smash your face" followed by "the Americans should have finished you off". wow.  Strangely enough we left an hour late and arrived an hour early. Before saying goodbye to Vietnam, and unfortunately I wanted to, Chris and I got to spend a few days with doctor from Israel who was a total riot. Yes mom, I met a doctor. Fortunately for me he's a Jewish doctor (love the Jews) but unfortunately for me he likes Jewish girls. Note: the tattoo was not a give away. When we got to Hue we booked a four hour bus ride (one way. Fml.) to a national park to visit one of the many caves Vietnam has to offer. Was it worth it? Absolutely. Do I remember any names of the places we went? Absolutely not. Damnit, I wish I had more information for you because it was so amazing. A boat took us throughout the cave as bats swarmed overhead and we were able to get off and explore on foot in a few places. The most interesting spot in the cave was off limits due to danger but had writing on the walls dating back to the 11th century and the cave also doubled as a hospital during the war in the 70's.  There was definitely a lot more I would have liked to explore in Vietnam as it was the most beautiful country I've seen to date. but with only a month and too many hours in transit you have to pick and choose. While the sights were more than worth it unfortunately it was the least friendly country I've been too.  Fun fact: I managed to save a lizard from drowning and a broken winged bat from being run over. I've found my calling. Animal rescuer!
