A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words- Here's 9000+

Hey folks. Last time we left off I was writing all sentimental and analytical. Today, I'll show you some cool pictures which will hopefully tell you what I've been doing the last few days, because instead of writing I'm going to enjoy the first real sunlight I've seen in days at the beach.

About to enjoy fresh fruits on the beach.

An overcast look at the beautiful beaches of Nha Trang.

A high view of the port.

Lamping on comfortable chairs with the crew, protected from the rain. Thomas, the Austrian is on the right. Sam is in there somewhere, with Gil the Israeli. The two Danish girls who left yesterday are also on the left. I now realize the picture is sort of small and you probably can't see anyone.

The entrance to the hot springs and mud bath park.

The mudbath. Several minutes before this picture was taken, Sam poured mud on my head when I wasn't prepared. This prompted a brutal mud wrestling match, which ended with me holding Sam in a headlock, his face only inches from the tube where mud came rushing out of to fill the bath. He called mercy and we made peace.

There were 6 of us in the mud bath, until some random Vietnamese men saw all the fun we were having and tried to get involved with our jokingly homosexual fun. We left and went to the hot springs.

The gondola ride to the island of "Vinpearl," an amusement park/fantasy land similar to Disney World just off the coast of Nha Trang. The site of the 2008 Miss Universe Pageant, Vinperal looked more like an abandoned city than the pinnacle of Asian fun, which it is marketed as. The park itself was full of water slides, pools, lazy rivers, rides, arcades; basically everything except for people. It is monsoon season, which probably deters many of the Chinese and Japanese tourists who usually inhabit the park.

Riding some crazy thing that launched us high in the air and put us upside down. The whole day, especially playing video games from 10 years ago, made me feel like a little kid again. However, I learned that the one thing I am too big for is bumper cars. The first time I got hit, my knee slammed against the metal bar, and I realized my legs were way to big for small Vietnamese bumper cars.

Talk to you soon!
