Always Hungry......

Today has been a good day. We have enjoyed the sunshine for the first time since being in Vietnam. Being in the sun all day felt nice, but we are feeling it now as we have settled down for the night.
One thing for sure is that we are continually hungry. The food is really good, but not filling. Rice and everything made out of rice doesn't last long in a hungry stomach that is walking all day long. We have managed to save a lot of money by walking everywhere and never taking a cab unless we absolutely need it. We lucked out this morning when we arrived in Nha Trang. We were told that the bus ride from Hoi An to Nha Trang takes about 12-13 hours. Our bus left Hoi An last night at 7pm so we weren't anticipating to arrive in Nha Trang until about 7am. Then, aboard the sleeper bus, the driver stops, flips on the lights, and yells, "Nha Trang". Shelley and I looked at each other startled because we were just woken up and what he yelled. It's 5am and we are here. We gathered our stuff and got off the bus. Luckily, we turned the corner to find what street we were on and our hotel was starring at us. We checked in early and took a shower.
We spent the day walking around and seeing different districts of the city after spending a few hours on the beach. Nha Trang is a hot spot for Russians. The signs around town all have Russian writing on them and this computer continually tries to translate my English typing to Russian. I apologize for any typos.
 Today's post will be short. We love you all! Thanks for your love and support.
