Greetings to all and especially to those humans that are mothers, for it is Mother's Day here and soon will be for you in the United States.  The past several days have been a continuation of my Vietnamese adventures - we've attended more classes at the local university as well as toured a local business, an engineering consulting firm located here in Ho Chi Minh City.

We also took a day trip to the Mekong Delta, where we explored some of the sites that the area has to offer.  This trip clearly illustrated the determination of the people here and their overall cleverness with regards to everyday living.  The floating markets and the logistical layout of the many produce oriented businesses was truly stunning.

My evenings have been filled with exploring the nightlife here in the city, which is indeed limitless.  I am also starting to seriously take advantage of the exchange rate here, optimizing bag space for the return journey home.  I wish everyone the best back home and everywhere else.
