There are several characters I met on this trip that touched me deeply. I will tell you stories once I rest my brain. I'm a zombie right now....but I need to stay up another 5 hours or so to get my clock back on.

Yen was an all star-all through out the trip. Speaking Vietnamese as she does, she handled all the details that needed detailing as I lazed by. Many Vietnamese said she was a rarity, returning vietnamese have a bad reputation, acting haughty and superior.....I witnessed it many times. She was a big hit everywhere, being as caring, compassionate and interested as she is.

She had little cosmetic gift bags that she gave out to the women she got close to....generous gifts for her family that is still in Saigon..

We had a months worth of great discussions, we realize more now how easy we have it.

I can't tell you how many times I saw something that brought a tear to my eye, and I would look at her and see the same.

Specifics to come,
Scott
