Le and Thai Son and I went fishing with Tung and her son Tommy...Tung caught a giant Prawn and another small fish...we were at a fish farm about 26kms north of Ha Noi on the road to Noi Bai International Airport...
We went for dinner at the Phu Ðong Restaurant where they have live music...the food was excellent... Ca Loc Con (catfish), Nem (it is a spring roll that is not cooked with crab in it, very, very yummy) and lots of Beer...the price for the meal was 186,000Dong...thats about $20NZ for a 7 course meal for 4 people...
 
On Saturday Le, Thai Son and Me went to Cua Lo beach...that is the first place that ever spoke to her so to us it is a very special place...the weather was cold but we dressed up like eskimos and walked on the beach and ate tons of seafood...and then went to Ho Chi Minh square in Vinh City where they have just completed the park with a 50 foot statue of Uncle Ho, the father of Viet Nam...
 
There will be photos of Thai Duong soon, he is staying with his Grandparents at the moment...
