From Michael

One day we went out to get dinner, and just as we were getting finished with the meal, it started dumping rain. Not gradually, like it does in Bend, but it was as if some one had dumped a lake on our roof. The shopkeepers started frantically putting up the awnings and taking in their grill. Luckily, we had two decks of cards in Dad's motorcycle, plus Farkle and a game called Gold Miner. Dad got Gold Miner and a few extra cokes, and we waited out the storm. Eventually the rain stopped and we went home.

Two days later Dad and I went on a "dad date". There is a big Buddha statue that can be seen from the beach called I don't know what. We got on our motorcycle and headed up Son Tra mountain. We arrived at a big complex of courtyards and temples, where we found out that the Buddha
on the hill was actually a hollow temple!
Afterwards we went further down the road to a resort. We swam in the ocean, and found a lot of cool shells, many with the creatures still in them! The sand was nice, and later on we found a chain of rocks, covered in crabs and barnacles and coral. I would like to go back someday.
