A Home Again

I moved to my new apartment this morning and I took everything in one trip except my guitar. I later took the bus with my guitar so now I am completely moved in. Ah, living lite, or lightly, depending. I will take a few photos and post them.
My presentment is deciding whether to go to bed with only a half bottle of water in the house or to go out in search of a store that sells water at midnight. Alas, such is the life in wanderland. Also I have a nice glass shower with hot water. I just need a towel!Pics soon.
If anyone has Viber on your phone and you want to talk you can call me at 84 0126 4994 748. I am discovering I like Viber better than Skype. Also I most highly recommend seeing"The Most Exotic Marigold Hotel". I think it is the best movie I've seen.
Please keep Renfroes in your loving prayers. Me too, while you are at it.

This is the street I will now call home, Huhyn Van Banh Street. I have been practicing the pronunciation and spelling all day long so I hope I can give the address to the taxi when

Where do I begin? I have been on such a long hiatus that I can hardly recount all that has happened since I last wrote back in May. So I think I will just start with today. After more than 2 months of living out of suitcases I finally found an apartment in Ho Chi Minh City. I arrived here on 6 June and since then have been diligently searching for a comfortable good value apartment. The place I found is in an area far from the familiar District 1 where I have spent almost all my time since I started coming to Viet Nam a few years ago. It will be challenging to learn new places to buy food, to swim, to drink coffee, to have laundry, etc., so I am a bit apprehensive but excited to be settling once again. I will have some pictures to post in the next day or so.
