I honestly can't believe I'm even here doing this. We are floating down the Mekong River towards Ho Chi Mihn City. Some of my friends and I slept out on the deck so we could wake up and see the sunrise over the river as we were nearing the port. It was truly breathtaking and emotional. I was seeing this stunningly beautiful sunrise over the jungle and the water. Watching the fog in the tops of the trees, passing little fishing boats and hearing the sounds of birds in the jungle and I just felt so thankful. I can't believe I'm here doing this. I can't believe that I'm seeing this river as a beautiful scenic place in a country that so many American soldiers thought was absolute hell on earth. Every day I'm so thankful for the opportunity to be able to do something like this and today is one of the moments that stand out the most. So begins my five days in Vietnam. (Sorry I haven't updated about Thailand.)

This is exactly what it is all about- it is soo worth all the prior issues to be able to make this happen. Viet Nam will bring a vast amount of different emotions. Take time to process it all.
I can only imagine how it must feel. To be able to spend time in Nam to see everything that our boys did.
Stacey!! Just thought I'd let you know I love reading your blog and I miss you at PSU! The Collegian isn't the same without your smiling face..
Be safe out there in the wilds of the world.
