Greetings from the HCMC airport. We had our final, lovely breakfast at Ma Maison and bid them adieu and hope to stay there again soon!!
Our 10a flight to Hue is now delayed until at least 1115a, but likely until 1155a...although we are not sure why the delay is occurring. Amy went to the gate counter to inquire and the gentleman sitting at the desk said, "I am sorry for the delay, but don't worry, there will be lunch provided!" Then, we heard an announcement saying that lunch for our flight # is being served in the airport restaurant. Wow...that happens in the US when a flight is delayed, right??? Amy and I are going to pass on lunch, as we are not hungry, but it's nice to have it offered!
Here's our closing photo of the staff at the Pediatric Hospital #1...they are all holding a item that was donated.

So...given that we have hooked into the VIP Lounge wi-fi network (despite not being in the VIP Lounge), I thought I would post some more market and street photos from yesterday that Amy had taken. Enjoy...but the same disclaimer exists as yesterday to the content of the photos. :)

| More squid |
 |
| The fish market |

| He was cleaning the fish...very efficiently |

| The ice machine in action...look at the large block of ice he's pushing through. |
 |
| These were the biggest fish we saw...they were huge! |
 |
| These cutting boards were awesome...very well-used! |
 |
| Tofu selections...many and varied. |
 |
| We think these are capers...very delicate-looking. |
Here are some more photos of the sights of HCMC...
 |
| Amy and I love the changes to the wordings on clothing here in Vietnam. This one says, "It Looks Like It's Going to be a Woredful (or wonderful) Weekend." |
 |
| I agree with this kids shirt! |
 |
| An art store!!! :) |
 |
| Another art store! |

 |
| Wow...now that's a dress! |
 |
| Our movie theater for Harry Potter |
 |
| Amy took this photo before the movie started. You can kind of see my white shirt toward the upper-center part of the photo. I am waving! |
 |
| Our 'hour of relaxation' salon in the alley. Head and face massages...very nice! |
 |
| A very chic ao dai (pronounced 'owie-aye')...love the US flag on the scooter too. |
Well...need to shut down now...my battery is running low. Still waiting for our flight to leave.
More later...
xoxo
