I didn't sleep very well on the 10+ hour-long night bus, despite having a nice place all to myself to stretch out (it was bumpy!), but I felt alright when I got to Nha Trang around 6am. The bus I had booked was all sold-out, so Yuri had to buy a ticket to come separately this morning, arriving around dinner time.
I did my usual long , hot walk in the sun this morning, after dropping my bag off at little Tulip Hotel (the first hotel with a/c I've stayed in so far!). I climbed the stairs up to the Catholic Cathedral, walked out to Long Son Pagoda to see the gian white Buddhas, walked through Cho Dam (the market), visited the Alexandre Yersin Museum (what a cool guy he was!), and walked along the beach back to my hotel - all before lunch! Then I rented a beach umbrella and chair and chilled by the ocean with my book and a sweet mango until it was time to meet Yuri's bus.
We ate dinner together (I had egg & mushroom soup and she had fried rice & shrimp), then we walked along the beach, chasing ghost crabs, finding constellations, and piecing together each other's meanings through broken expressions.
Back at the hotel before bed, I introduced her to the Flintstones. :)

Who was Alexandre Yersin?
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I just commented on Grady's "spin-out" when he was running in the damp grass that he did a "Fred Flintstone." haha
ReplyDeleteI continue to pray for God to keep you healthy, dear child. I'm glad you had some time to chill by the beach and that you had some respite from the heat in some a.c.
Honey, Alexandre Yersin was a Swiss and French physican and bacteriologist. He co-discovered the bacillus of bubonic plague in 1894 and prepared a serum to combat the disease.
ReplyDeleteApril, now aren't you surprised to learn that I knew that but Dad didn't! ;o)
