This was a very laid back day. The Hylands and us walked down to the lake and had KFC for lunch (didn't eat the ice today!). We got a late start though, so it was HOT by the time we were done. We walked around the entire lake and went to the Citimart again and bought some more essentials and had some iced Vietnamese coffee at Highland Coffee....YUM!! As we were leaving, the taxi drivers were all jockeying for our business. We saw the lady cab driver that ripped us off our first day and commented to her "No Way!, we remember you....you ripped us off!" She just smiled. We wanted to walk anyway.
People have asked us if we felt safe in Vietnam. We did. Of course, I wrote about the night that the 4 of us became lost on the way back to the hotel, but even then, I didn't feel in danger. This day though was our 1 experience (the taxi incident was heartracing though too!). As our family was doing a little shopping (Hylands had headed back already), an American walked by us and warned us that there were some purse snatchers around the corner. We moved everything to the front of our bodies and kept going. We didn't see anything shady though, luckily, but we were frightened a bit.
