Hot Days

We know it's hot when even our Vietnamese friends grumble about the weather. These days the heat and humidity are insufferable. We try to avoid running the air conditioners during the day because there is never enough electricity to go around, and the rates get higher with increased use. Instead, we plan activities that involve sitting in front of the fan or moving from the path of one fan to the next. It requires some creativity.

In the past week or so, we have...


gone spelunking...


built a block city...


sailed the high seas in our pirate ship...



run a marathon...



and done some serious excavating...all without leaving the house.
