A break in the adventure

After almost a week in Saigon, we made our way to Da Nang and that’s been mostly great so far.   The one bad part is, on our last day in Saigon, I slipped and my toe twisted under me and I (think) I broke the toe.   It’s getting better, but I would bet that there’s a hairline fracture in the toe.   So, I’ve been icing and taping it, as there’s not much more that can be done for it, but it’s been a pain….

We’re frickin’ adorable. I also found an empty row of two in the back, so I headed back and caught an hour nap.  That was nice.  Refreshing....
