Hi, Steve. Thanks for the feedback–glad you liked the story! Nicaragua is really cool, too.

I love the fact that you were the first foreigner to eat in that restaurant in Vietnam–that is SO cool! And they made you a special meal? That is great–the real deal. And why it’s so nice to get off the beaten path if you can.

Great story. I badly wanted to make my way down to Panama City when I went to Costa Rica last year, but I didn’t have the chance. I ended up going north into Nicaragua.

I did have a good connection with a family in Vietnam though. In order to get out of the rain, I stepped into a small restaurant. Apparently I was the first foreigner ever to go there. All the other people eating there and the owners had to come over and say hi. They told me what it was like to own the place and made me a special meal. It was a great experience.

I see this all the time in India…once I stopped at a village where farmers where working on their fields and they just glowed when we wanted to take a picture of them. That’s all they wanted– a picture. Loved your story and narrative. I’m sure you are treasuring the bracelet.
