Off Again

 

 

The Lohses have been in town for the last month and we have spent a great deal of the time traveling around Asia.  After spending Christmas day celebrating, we headed off for Siem Reap, Cambodia and then went to Ho Chi Mihn City (Saigon).

Angkor Wat

Cambodia was simply amazing, one of my top 5 places.  We spent 4 days there and toured the famous temples, spent a day on ATVs, and really tried to get to know the people and local culture.  It was truly fantastic.  Click on the picture above to see more pictures from our trip.

We then headed next store to Vietnam, where Darwin returned to Saigon after his first visit during the war 42 years ago.  We spent 3 days touring the city, the museums, and went to the tunnels used by the North Vietnamese during the American/Vietnam war.  We saw saw some very graphic pictures, read some very unfair recollections of the war, but also spent some time reflecting on our history as a country. I can only imagine how impactful the experience was for a returning veteran.  Click on the picture above to see more pictures from our trip.

Overall, it was a very memorable vacation and another successful Asian adventure for the Lohses!  

Up next...Xi'an and the Terracotta Warriors!
