At least you like Vietnamese coffee - I went to your blog to get that info. Nice blog - you seem to be living life to the fullest. I'd like to meet your Dad - has he gotten the yellow mustang that he put on fridge shopping list? I rented one as a surprise for my wife in Memphis when we flew in and drove to MS for an employees wedding. Great fun!
Thank you for the encouragement! No, my dad hasn't gotten his yellow mustang yet, but he's still hoping.
As to Vietnam...I was over in SouthEast Asia on a short-term mission trip this summer. One of my team-mates and I were distributing literature (we were riding a motorbike through the countryside and throwing literature into people's yards when we thought no one was looking), and we were followed and arrested. They held us for eight hours, confiscated the literature, questioned us, made us sign a bunch of papers and the literature, and finally blacklisted us for life and released us. That's the concise version of the story.
In spite of it all, I do have some good memories of Vietnam (yes, including the coffee!
) and it makes me sad to think I can never go back.
