Hello from Can Tho!
We survived a three hour drive to Tra Vinh (with all kids pretty happy). After eating a wonderful lunch we visited Josie's orphanage. One of her nanny's was there and remembered her. There were only nine babies at this orphanage, but this facility is also home to seniors so it was a different sort of place. Kurt and Tien enjoyed the puppies that shyly tried to play with the boys.

This was one of the first days that we really encountered all the rain we've heard about. The streets of Tra Vinh were flooded and our van flew water all over the place. The children that we passed by splashed in the water.

After the orphanage we then drove to Can Tho, which was another two hours. We rode in a ferry to cross the Mekong River, Kurt enjoyed this--being able to ride without being in his seat and seat belt.

We are staying at a charming hotel here in Can Tho. We ate Italian food for dinner last night--yea PESTO!!

Today we going on a boat cruise to see the floating market of Soc Trang; this should be very interesting.

Hope everyone is well, we miss you.
Peace,
Angie, Keith and Kurt
