South China Sea

Today was a kick back day, so we made the 2 1/2 hour trip to Vung Tau. A incredible stretch of land on the Sea of China.






Our day started out at a veranda setting for a light lunch. It was beautiful and relaxing at the Lan Rung Resort. The soup and eggrolls were yummy, and I can't say that in my wildest dreams that I ever saw myself sitting on the shores of the Sea of China, with my family, breezes blowing, listening to Celine Dion singing "O Holy Night." Strange but great.


From there we actually headed to the beach, changed into our suits, and hit the surf. Lilli had a great time playing in the sand and water and found some great seashells and avoided the sand crabs. Mommy, Katelin and Gandma Trina stayed back under the cabana enjoying the nice breezes.


After a few hours in the sun, which is all even the best SPF can handle, we headed up to the light house for a great view of the town below and the giant staue of Jesus on the next mountain. The view was amazing.


The day ended with a delicious dinner of squid, fried oyster, barbecued crabs and and steamed prawn (as big as lobster) before the long drive back to the city.


We have run into a few delays now that we have Katelin, but our facilitator still says that we can be home on our original scheduled flights on December 29. Please keep this in prayer, as it is a little uneasy not knowing the finality of this trip. I gues it is par for the course with this adoption, huh.
