Reunion Lunch then to the Beach and the Tolet

Last night a storm moved in and the heat broke at last.  Which is great because we had a family lunch at Mom's house and all 6 sisters were in the same place for the first time in 27 years!

After lunch Helen suggested we go to see the beach she and her sisters left from when they escaped.

But first the monkey.  This poor thing is chained to a tree down the street from Helen's Mom's house.

Here is a car monkey called Emily.

Thu An beach where Helen and her sisters escaped from Veitnam.

The hawker kids swarm.

Helen in paradise.

Helen, Brandon and Trang.  Helen discovers her white pants are see through when wet.

And after your drinks run through, you may need to use the TOLET.

Here is where the arrow points.  Just a cement floor with a bit of privacy.

After the beach excursion, everyone but Trang was too tired to eat.  So we took her to a popular sea food restaurant near the hotel.
