Last entry before going stateside

  Didn’t do much today, packed, walked aways to mail some postcards and generally hung out in the hood taking in the scene.  Had breakfast at the cafe by having the street side restaurant diagonally across the intersection bring me a bowl of Pho.  Dan, Faye, Peter and Julio drifted in for coffee as I chopsticked and spooned my way through my rice noodles, beef and spinach stalks. For lunch, I had it in the go from a sidewalk lady scrambling eggs and assortment of meats, stuffing the concoction into a small baguette with hot sausage.  Delicious and all for a buck fifty.  Two naps followed by dinner across town with Peter Doan and one of his site managers.  Another table full of exotic foods.  Peter has seen my work and deals with some wealthy clients who may want my work.  Both of us agreed that the wealthy are demanding and generally a pain in the backside. We will see what comes of it.
     Now, I am off to the airport at 8:30 with my mountain of gear.  Vietnam far surpassed my expectations.  I could have stayed but my other life beckons. But, not for long, other trips are on the horizon.
