Back from Hue city (Hway) this weekend (Oct. 7-8) where Bryan, Dawn, Nicky and I took a short respite from teaching and official team life. The break was needed. Typhoon Xangsane, the previous weekend, exposed the general stress we have had from being in a new culture, from living with three very different people, and from getting used to our jobs as teachers. Hai was understanding in letting us have Saturday off so we could get away.
Other highlights of Hue: (click on the picture to see it bigger)
Taking the early train North along the mountainous coastline.
A boat tour on the Perfume River to see a famous Pagoda.
Walking the streets of Hue at night
Having fun taking pictures at the Royal 
Citadel (also see top). Quite an impressive place.
Returning by bus over the Hai Van pass. (This picture was taken at a rest stop near a lake).
Thanks for reading. And thanks to all of you for support and encouragement. Getting away for a weekend like we did here is helpful, but it means alot to know that you all are thinking and praying.
