Lunch Time

The first two photos were taken at the park and the last photo is of Mama's Kitchen or at least that's what Keith called it. We ate there several days, too many if you ask me. A plate of food, which consisted of rice, a meat and a vegetable and also a bowl of soup (with greens in it) cost $10,000 dong or $.65 U.S. You couldn't beat the price, but it got old, very old. Keith enjoyed it the best. The ladies were very nice and would try to tell us what meats to pick out. She acted surprised when Keith wanted to try some of the odd meat dishes. The food was cooked over a burner on the sidewalk. The accomodations were a little lacking, the tables were children's plastic tables and chairs, your napkin was a roll of toilet paper. I hope you are enjoying the photos. We still have to readopt Van, apply for his social security card, change his name, have him checked out by a physician and meet our social worker for updates in the following months.
