Too cliche? I know, but I couldn't help myself. We are enjoying day 3 at the beach and it's been wonderful.The weather is hot and the breeze is very much appreciated. I'm feeling so relaxed and well fed that it's hard to be sharp and witty right now, but I still wanted to say hi....so here goes nothing....
Today I finally got up my nerve to buy some pearls on the beach, much to Cindy and Kate's relief...they were really getting tired of hearing about it! I have no idea if I bought real pearls or plastic, but the lady was sweet and kind, she put her hand to my face, clasped my hands and smiled at me.
I think that is what has struck me the most about being here. How kind and willing to smile the people are. Last night Kate and I were playing our championship cribbage game on the patio and a security guard walked up and stood watching us smiling. I was a little unnerved at first, until I realized that he was just rearranging the lantern on the walkway so that we could see the board better. (Go ahead, ask who won...no seriously you can ask...)
In the kite boarding store across the street the sales clerk was sweet and helpful. As we walked out the door she said, "You come back anytime, you have questions I'll help you!"
That coupled with the amazing progress Trey is making almost by the hour has me feeling extremely grateful and blessed. Never did I picture myself traveling to Vietnam, yet here I am. It's an experience that I'm profoundly grateful for. It's helped me to see how small our world really can be.
Sending love and warm wishes to you in your world,
peace-
