Back to Ho Chi Minh

Well, we have been back in Ho Chi Minh City for a few days. We will leave out tomorrow for Thailand, but we felt we needed to spend a fewore days here.

Today we were able to travel around and find out housing prices in a few different districts of the city. Of course as foreigners the real estate agent believes we have lots of money. All the places she showed us were beautiful, but out of our price range. Seeing these apartments did give us hope though of what we might be able to find in our range.

We have also had a chance to take Mitchell's family to a nice restaurant here in the city to say thanks for all the help they have provided us during our stay. The food was delicious and cost less than $7 a person. You can't beat that.

We visited a few Western markets here to see what comfort foods we could make. Let's just say there will be no Mexican in our future unless I can make taco shells myself. One box of taco shells=$7.00

The boys have enjoyed the city since there a few playgrounds here and a splash pad. Mitchell and I also had a wonderful visit with a young expecting mother in the park the other day while the boys played.

Tonight we will go get our last fix of Vietnamese food and then it is on to Thailand.

American spices in Vietnam. They are just as expensive here.

A Catholic Church we visited in Saigon.

Elijah loves the outdoor exercise equipment at the park. Hey, you don't have to pay a gym fee!
