A Few random photo’s to compliment my blabbering I ordered a computer yesterday for the hotel. Pretty primitive by my standards…. But still way beyond what most places have here. They will deliver it tomorrow and starting on Monday, I…

A busy few days
Last night we headed out to the Texas bar and grill for a few drinks. I thought it was a few, but my head tells me different. Yesterday I went with my nephew to pick up a new mattress…
oooooh that itch!
I woke up this morning a bit a wreck. I perhaps did not mention that on the bus ride back from Quy Nhon, there was a young man riding with us that had a bit of a cough. Well guess…
Rough boys

I love this Town… or is it City
We headed out after breakfast looking for some kind of action in this town. We walked along the beach after it stopped raining. There is a large hotel down a ways from us that hosts many of the westerners that…
