Today we got up early, went to breakfast and walked down to the Cham museum in DaNang. The Cham museum is suppose to be a main attraction in DaNang and has sculptures from the Cham Dynasty. Ashley and I both were quickly going through it but we found the structure of the building much more interesting than the stone Elephants and Buddhas...
We got back to our hotel...I didn't mention this earlier but we had a stalker at the hotel we stayed at. He was googly eyeing us and was insistant on taking us on a motorbike tour. We tried to avoid him as much as possible and were glad to be leaving the hotel.
We got on a train to head to Hue. The train was filthy and the bathrooms were horrendous with just a hole and feet prints on the ground to put your feet. I know this is disgusting but I am sick too from travelers diarrhea I got after eating the big shrimp and crab!!!
Also when Ashley and I were sitting in our seats all of a sudden the person's feet from behind us was between us and her feet smelled horrible!!!! There was also a cute but annoying girl in front of us for 3 hours smiling and taking our picture. You can only smile and give thumbs up so many times before losing your patience.
We have been good to all the kids begging for money though, we carry candy now and hand it to them and give them American change. They are happy with us but always want more.
We got to Hue and got swarmed by taxi men. You would think the paparrazi was after us, we had to yell at them to get away and finally got a metered taxi to take us to our hotel. We just had dinner and are sweaty and gross and short tempered.
Tommorow we are going on a tour of Hue on a boat for only 2$US!! We are looking forward to a good last day in Hue...Monday we fly around 5pm to Ho Chi Minh City, then to Seoul, Korea, then to L.A. then to the good old Nati!!
By the way, I have not been able to read your comments for the past 4 days because the computers won't read it in English so I look forward to what you are saying!!
Chow, YO NORA!!

Hi Newts,
Glad you're on the outlook for strange people there. Be safe!
I am reading the Delaware Gazette right now. There is a continuing article (every Saturday) from a woman who was in the peace corps, and now on an extended stay in Thailand. She is with a family celebrating the Lunar New Year with some monks.Its like a deja vu extension of your blog. I'll save these articles for you..
Love you,
Dad, Suzi & Kris
This is the grouchiest you've sounded since the beginning of the trip (with good reason)! I hope your boat ride turns Hue around for you both. Be safe...we miss you.
Joey has been writing a journal this summer and was very interested to read yours online. I was so excited to read him your post this morning. It was lovely to hear about your stomach issues. TMI... we laughed but then felt bad for you.
Joey says..."hi and how are you doing? I want you to be back here poof like in one second. I miss you so so much. You have to tell me about your trip when you get back."
"Mom, can we go visit Aunt Kacey in Cincinnati when she gets home?"
