Family in Saigon

On our way to Hue, we stopped in to stay with Thao and my adopted family in Vietnam. Thao lives in Thanh Binh District, just beyond downtown, in a highrise where she also manages about 8 programmers working for an Australian software company. Pictured here at dinner are Mama Hiep, Thao, and her niece and nephew, Cun and Bin, as well as us with a sleeping jetlagged Xuan Anh.





Xuan Anh and Cun get acquainted.















Feeding elephants sugarcane at the zoo. While the San Diego Zoo might be our favorite zoo back home, few places will let you feed the elephants anymore like the Saigon city zoo. Here the elephants wait patiently while Xuan Anh and the gang savor the moment. It looks like Bean is actually taking a few licks of his before giving it off.
