Sophia woke up and wanted Pho again…so we went to Pho Anh Kiet…right down the street and around a corner. We got her an adult size bowl and iced coffee. She only drank a little bit of iced coffee (Vietnam iced coffee is not as strong as America). She finished up the bowl, in true Vietnamese style with chopsticks. I realize she’s a pretty messy eater, we are going to work on that.
We then explored the town and had some fresh squeezed orange juice. Yes, Vietnamese oranges are not orange, they are green, but still just as delicious. The other drink is basil seed in a syrup with different kinds of seaweed. She loves trying to bite those little seeds. She asked if they have this in America, and so guess what I will be making for her when I get back to the states.
Since I had to do housework and laundry there are not too many fun pictures. We hung our clothes to dry and spend time doing house stuff. Its been forever since I have washed a whole load of dishes by hand. Anne helped sell at the stationary store, and we went over there to get ourselves some stationary. Sophia wanted to work too, best way to learn Vietnamese is to go out and sell at the store. Sophia was so happy we have a store.
I think we may go back for some more later…Vietnam has the best stationary. Anyone who knows me….knows I LOVE stationary. I grabbed myself some fountain pens. Unfortunately for Sophia, much of the stationary will be used to do homework…she was not happy about that. Daddy’s rules.
For a snack, Sophia tried Custard apple for the first time and loved it!! We will be eating this more in the next month to get Sophia her fill. This stuff is expensive in the states.
