Saturday trip to the Silk Village



The families took a trip to the Silk Village today to shop. Afterwards we hac a very nice dinner with Cherie (PLAN family liason), her son Brian, and Cong (PLAN driver). It was a multiple course meal. Everything was absolutely delicious. We got back and I finished up our shopping so that Ed can bring all our purchases back with him when he leaves. We got a few pieces of artwork, several pretty cotton hand embroidered dresses in different sizes for Liana, a dragon puppet for John, a laquered platter, silk scarves, an embroidered handbag, and a stone painted statue of a Vietnamese girl in traditional pose for Liana's room. We need to pick up some tee shirts today and we will be done. Believe it or not, I am a lightweight shopper compared to the other families here who seem to have bought alot more than me.
We had great homemade pasta for dinner.
