We transitioned from our guest house in Ho Chi Minh City to an apartment in a different district outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. The idea was to find a comfortable place with a pool and good internet to chill for a week and get some work done. Ah, the best laid plans....

On another day in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) we arranged for a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels. These are situated about an hour from HCMC. Like many tours, it took longer to get there because we made a stop at a factory. This was where some amazing art was produced by disabled Vietnamese people. It was fantastic to see them at work. We could follow the process of how some of the pieces were produced. It was a group effort, like an assembly line. There were many pieces inside the shop, especially vases and some furniture. It is difficult for disabled people to earn an income in Vietnam and this place was a source of pride for them.

So we were chillin' in our room at our guesthouse and I was reading some Facebook posts. I saw one from a group we belong to called Families on the Move. It posed the question about the chances of running into another family in this group at a restaurant in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Cool. I responded saying we were here too and next thing you know we were all meeting for dinner down the street.
