Scott's gone!!

Though we had quite a fun day, it was sad because Scott had to return home. Chloe and I will truly miss him and we were all disappointed he can not participate in the rest of the activities on our trip. Caleb will be happy though as he will have his daddy home. I can't wait to see both when we arrive back in the US.

This morning we went to Six Banyan Temple where some of the families had their babies dedicated by some Buddhist monks. We watched but did not participate as we will have Chloe dedicated at our church PCC by our pastor. After the ceremony, I climbed one of the pagodas and strangely enough i seemed to have a bit of vertigo. I felt queazy and it felt as if the eight story building was going to fall over.

Later we went shopping which is a daily activity as there is a plethora of interesting things to look at and buy -- and I thought the US had an overwhelming assortment of items to puchase. Scott and I tried an alcohol which was flavored with three kinds of snakes which were fermented in the bottle for 10 years. It tasted quite good and had a flavor similar to whiskey.

In the evening we had a pizza party reunion as all the families who had gone to different provinces had returned. It was quite exciting as the leaders of USAA are quite the hosts and enjoy partying. There were probably 100 people total including the USAA staff.

Though the party was fun it was not the same without Scott. I pray he has a safe flight home and does not have too much a problem adjusting to CA time.
