Busy days.

Well it has been a super busy thirteen days. My feet hurt and I am looking forward to seeing the snow. I have had an amazing time here in Vietnam. We are with a couple from Quebec who also adopted a baby boy from the same orphanage we adopted Isaac from. They named him Victor. The nounou's told us that they were "friends" and spent a lot of time together at the orphanage. Victor is only seven days younger then Isaac. Hopefully we will be able to keep the "friendship" alive. It will be nice for both boys to have eachother as a connection to their past

This women is selling coconut drinks. The street vendors begin work at 6:30am and work till dark. They carry the baskets across their shoulders. Most women I have seen selling this way are very old.

Next is a picture from Ben Thanh market. It is the largest market in Ho Chi Minh City and it is super busy. The ailes are only about two feet wide and there are hundreds and hundreds of vendors who are constantly in your face. It gets pretty annoying after you have said "No" a hundred times but they follow you around shoving their stuff in your face. It is also about a million degrees in there. After carrying a baby around for about an hour I had pretty much had it with the market experience.

Food vendors just outside Ben Thanh market. The fruit here is the best I have ever tasted.

This is our Vietnam Adoption Rep., Loan. She is absolutely wonderful and just adores Isaac...the feelings are mutual between the two of them. In the picture Loan and Isaac are standing infront of a Womens Pagoda. All the budda's inside this temple are female.
Isaac and me at a beach in Vung Tau. Behind us is the South China Sea...how cool is that!


I honestly have to say I am going to miss Vietman. It has been such a great experience but I am getting tired and I really miss my babies back in Canada. The paperwork is going smoothly and we are still hoping to be home by the end of this coming week. Thanks to everyone who has kept us in your prayers for a safe trip.....so far so good.

Till next time......Kellie & Isaac
