While I try to upload some photos to this site, I'll tell you about my trip from the start:
The first day, post -breakfast and teh Ben Thanh Market adventure, we decided to unwind a little from teh long long plane trips. Alison suggested a salt rub and a massage. Pamela found us at the hotel and we invited her to join us.
I cannot vouch for the others, but as I lay on the massage table, thinking of all I'd seen, and smelled and tasted thus far, and of all the tempting and alarming and amusing things I hoped to taste or avoid, I realized that I myself was having coarse salt and oil rubbed into my skin.... much like a roast.
Spent that afternoon lounging by the pool. Had a bit of wine and some local spring rolls (which are a big thing here and delicious). Decompressed and prepped for 2 adventurous weeks.
This photo depicts a mountain of sweet goopy cherries and dried persimmons from the Ben Thanh Market. ... both of which I ate.
Hmmmm. can I only post one photo per post on this site>? Will explore more later.
