We're back in Saigon, and now preparing to leave. We've had a couple busy days since my last post, traveling back South and spending two days in the Mekong Delta. The Delta was pretty cool, and definitely the rural Vietnam I expected, with lots of water, channels, rain and jungles (The stuff of Rambo and Apocalypse Now). We spent more time on boats than busses, which was a nice change, and got to see a very different side of Vietnam.
This will probably be my last post from Vietnam, because we are leaving in about 14 hours (3:45 a.m. local time). I am scheduled to be back in Cedar Rapids on June 3rd by 6:00 p.m. Central Time, at which point I might try to drive home to DeWitt, or find a place to crash if I'm too jet-lagged. We shall see.
I need to get running, however, we have an appointment at the Consulate, which I've very excited for. See everyone soon!
