A new day...a new plan.
We have decided to visit the Mekong Delta south of here so we are making arrangements to stay for 3 days in Can Tho. We have heard it's very beautiful , a place where the floating markets provide a unique exposure to the delta way of life. Tranportation will take 5 hours by a pre-arranged taxi. We will return to HCMC to fly directly to Hanoi and spend 4 days in the northern city. We realize now we can soak up more of the northern spice ofVietnam in this french Provincial city we have heard so much about ...by staying a few extra days.
So as these plans come to fruition it is with zen-like acceptance that this trip will not be the return to 'Nam as was expected. No regrets...no only ifs. I must now email ClearPath to let them know we will not visit their center.
Nancy is now on her last school visitation and is looking forward to finalizing this portion of her trip. Needless to say she deserves a big break as she has been juggling her work and these changing logistics.
While going for a long walk at sunrise this morning and as the scooter traffic began to build I realized that there is a "flow and rythym" to movement here in Vietnam. Traffic and pedestrians never stop....but rather always adjust speed to swerve and maneuver ones intent. This flow and rythym is wonderful to watch and implement. If you stop and wait, for instance, to hesitate because of traffic then the flow becomes disrupted and all in this "web" are effected.
Our trip must now adopt this "flow and rythym" concept. We are maneuvering without interruption as we must and be open to all possibilities.

changing plans a must
a typhoon determines fate
flow and rythym time
