Floating Museums Old and New, OB Street Market and Late Night Brews

Before we begin, I must make a few confessions. This morning’s early events are a bit foggy. For you see, yesterday ended after Imperial beach, but I can’t seem to remember all of the evening. It began at Urban Leaf and ended when I woke up.… continue reading Read More

Exploring The Republic Of Rolando’s Breakfast Fare

After a fun day on the water finding a few whales, we sat and watched the sun set on my brother and sister-in-law’s balcony. The sunsets are truly spectacular in San Diego and I never get tired of losing myself in their beauty.… continue reading Read More

The Night Markets and Returning To Hội An

As I’ve discussed previously the heat is blistering here. In Southeast Asia one of the many beautiful things that is either directly or indirectly caused by an attempt to avoid the sun are night markets, and Vietnam boasts some of the best.… continue reading Read More

Playa Centro and Taqueria Erika

After a couple of intense days of exploration and adventure it was time to slow things down. We were, after all, in paradise and it seemed a waste to rush it all away. We slowly got ourselves up, in no hurry to do anything, as all of our scheduled events had been fulfilled.… continue reading Read More

A Conversation About Food 2: The Duality of Consumption and the Lure of the Jungle.

I wrote in my earlier entry about the food and what I had discovered. What I wrote was only part of the picture. It’s a far more complicated and layered reality than I had originally expected. I had not ventured into the jungle when I wrote part one of this story, but in a way, I think it’s fitting that it’s structured this way, partly because of the duality aspect.… continue reading Read More

I Could Not Have Imagined

I awoke from my jungle nap sometime around 4. I had, at this point, given up on keeping up with things as trivial as time. A handful of things were important here: was it day or night, was it time to eat, had an appropriate amount of time passed yet for a bath, and where was the coffee?… continue reading Read More

Good Morning Vietnam!

I opened my eyes after what seemed like an eternity of sleep. I looked at my watch, which read 04:35. How could this be? My mind knew it wasn’t enough, but my body didn’t get the message. My mind flew back to my childhood and the movie Good Morning Vietnam!… continue reading Read More

My first bowl of Phố and other things.

I awoke around 7:45 after a long and much-needed nap. I could hear what sounded like a concert drifting into my window from the lobby below. Only whoever was singing was horrible. I leaned out the window and could hear other terrible attempts at singing drifting from the establishments in the streets nearby.… continue reading Read More

Do I have to? Wait, what did you say?

After coffee and a break, we went back to the hotel. On the ride over, everyone was discussing getting a spa treatment done. Help ease the jet lag was the argument. Full massage, hot stones, feet, scalp, almost two hours of pampering.… continue reading Read More
