Once again, we are beachside. This time, in Mui Ne, on the south eastern coast of VIetnam. After a seven hour bus ride and after a flight ot ho chi min city, we are in a relatively small beach town filled with kite surfers.
we went 'sledding' down sand dunes today: it was hot.
fishing villages buttress the tourist area, here, and apparently where there is fishing there is fish sauce making. people's yards, here, are filled with hundreds of bean bag size baskets. those baskets are filled with fish and then a layer of woven straw and then bricks. the fish are squished and heated by the sun and excrete all their juices into the bottom of the basket. the smell is more horrible than even the most fetid stench in bangkok or ha noi. It is otherwordly. it must also be somewhat alcoholic
our little beach bungalow, however, smells only of the ocean. and we are sad to leave it tomorrow. but we miss the babies soooo terribly, we are also happy to come home. we have been spoiled by the low cost of our budget accomodation (usually 20 dollars or all three of us) but I miss my house and bathroom dearly. and bed. and shower. and kitchen. and i'm excited to see all of you soon:)
