Sorry, Uncle Ho

We are currently experiencing our first real rains of wet-monsoon. It started raining around 6am and is still pouring. The street in front of our hotel is under at least 6 inches of water and other roads are significantly worse. We'd planned on going to the Ho Chi Minh complex before leaving today (his house, museum and mausoleum) but we'll be lucky if we can get off our block in time to get to the airport.

We've filled the time watching the locals get around regardless of the weather, whether walking, motorbike, and even a few cars.

The floodwaters are starting to recede, so, although we'll miss seeing Uncle Ho, we should be able to get lunch.

  2. It is raining here, too, today. We really needed it though. Travel safely. Does Cambodia know Nick's birthday is coming? Will there be parades and celebrations? Love to both of you.
