I feel like i have taken a thousand pictures since de-brief in Koh Samet here are a few…let me know if there are things you want to see that i am not posting!
port city where we caught a boat to Koh samet
i hit the beach right before dawn
this mantis reminded me of the movie kungfu Panda, which then reminded me of my baby cousins-sarah and joshua-love you two
on the day we left we stumbled upon this buddist temple…tara b. is tall and she saw the giant budda over the trees
yes this is giant budda, just trust me this thing is huge. surprised the island didn’t sink
VIETNAM
a weird game they play in Vietnam, im sure its not weid to them. maybe Vietnamese checkers
Dan in the Cathedral (the French built it). I suppose he was lighting a candle in honor of his grandmother that passed away last month
a man helping a blind monk up the stairs into the temple
a US tank at the Vietnam War Museum (hopefully more to come about the museum)
Vietnamese countryside-RICE
we ventured North of Ho Chi Minh and came across this COA temple. this is a young religion in Vietnam. Coaism includes a mixture of Christianity, Buddhism, ancestral worship and Confucianism.
a visit to the orphanage/disabled children’s hospital (i love this kid)
i love getting to see the mother in all of my squadmates
This is Lisa with a baby that has a birth defect called Omphocele (the intestines don’t get fully encapsulated by the stomach)
Maithili with one of my favorite babes in the nursery
every time I leave I want to take one
