Saturday in Da Nang

Saturday in Da Nang began with an excellent Vietnamese buffet breakfast at our little hotel near the beach. Afterward, we met with some of our Vietnamese friends to share stories, talk about ICCM sponsorship, share gifts and water filters and encourage one another. Our friends were happy to receive the well-traveled bikes that three of our team members offered to leave in Vietnam.

In the rainy afternoon (the only rain we've had here in two weeks), we traveled south to the ancient town of Hoi An and browsed its quaint shops and cultural center.  The evening was spent boxing bikes, walking to the beach and debriefing on our journey and experiences here.

We are now packing and getting ready for the journey home.  Our flights from Da Nang to Ho Chi Minh City to Seoul, South Korea to Los Angeles International to Chicago O'Hare include some significant layovers.  We're hoping to tour a bit of Seoul during an 8-hour layover there.  If all goes as scheduled, we should be touching down in Chicago sometime early Monday evening and home by midnight.
