The War Museum was pretty sad. My uncle died in the war and I never knew him, so it felt weird to be walking around the museum, looking at places he might have been and airplanes he might have flown in.

That night we went to see Maleficent in the theater. $4 for a ticket, if you're ok with people bringing 2 year olds into an action movie.
Sunday, we went to the Perfume Pagoda. Simply put, this trip was amazing. It started with a 2 hour ride in an air-conditioned van (heaven) through the Vietnamese countryside (gorgeous). Our tour guide gave us a lovely speech about the Vietnamese people and how they are so much more happy than Americans because they accept what life gives them and give to others as well.
Once we reached the town, we took a beautiful boat ride down a river to the base of the hill where the pagoda was located.

After a whole lot more stairs, we arrived at the cable car that took us to the actual perfume pagoda
After a long bus ride back I crashed and slept for 12 hours. Tomorrow I'm eating snake!

... Tomorrow I'm eating snake? Aren't you the kid who won'''t eat a hamburger if there's a hint of pink? Oh, wait, what am I thinking? I'm sure the snake will have been prepared in the utmost sanitary conditions. Don't forget to wash it down with a shot of blood. I think there's an ND band cap in my future

I cannot handle your captions, i.e. "Just seconds before a Chinese man burped on my neck." Therefore, I will not be trying to upstage your blog. Enjoy your time in Vietnam, and I can't wait to read all your posts when I return! :)
