Well, we did it. I actually was able to get up at 5:30am and go for a run. Did not go that long but like I said before I just wanted to have Vietnam as one of my locations in Strava. Went for a little over a mile before coming back to the hotel to…

Full Picture Unlocked
Today I did not wake up to go for a run. I woke up at the alarm and turned it off to fall right back to sleep. However, there are plans to go tomorrow with other people so that will be motivation to actually get up. I am definitely less tired today than yesterday which…
Top Food Contenders
I started off the day by thinking I should go for a run sometime before leaving so I can post it on Strava. We will see if this actually happens though because sleeping in always sounds better. When reading the itinerary, I really didn’t think today was that daunting with only two site visits. However,…
No More Rice
I am convinced Tuan is the best guide we could’ve had for some of our trips this week. He has a lot of knowledge on the history and statistics of Vietnamese culture and lifestyle. He also has so many funny quotes or stories and sometimes we can’t even tell if he is joking or being…

The French Are Back in Vietnam?
One of the many things I had heard about Vietnam was how good their coffee is. Many people know that Brazil is the number one coffee exporter in the world, but the not as common knowledge is that Vietnam is the second largest. This morning, I had the pleasure of walking to one of the…
New Food and New Friends
It is so weird to wake up at 7am and realize that it is 8pm at night back in the US. I can say that I am already adjusted to this new sleep schedule but that can be accredited to the fact that we are doing a lot during the day and then get back…
We in Vietnam! Pho Real!
The morning to start the day was easy which is great because the whole group definitely needed sleep after the long 31+ hours of total travel time. This was a crazy experience because I had never been on a plane before but overall did not hate any part of it. The breakfast was great and…
