Officially Canadian!

After numerous calls to the Canadian Consulate Monday morning we finally got word that Maya's passport was ready. She is now officially Canadian! And we can depart tomorrow on schedule. Here we are outside the consulate office....

One American and Two Canadians!

I spent the rest of the day doing a little more shopping. In general, I'm not a shopper but it's easy to get carried away here - I got a beautiful silk dress for $35, including alterations and I bought another lovely purse for $9 and silk scarves for $5-7.
We took another dip in the pool and then went to another water puppet show at the Golden Water Puppet Theatre. This production was much better than the one at the museum - complete with live musicians, dry ice, and a few sparklers at the end. Maya loved it- especially the music! She is dancing now (more on that later).
Tomorrow, it's back to home sweet home. It's bitter sweet - we are sad to be leaving Vietnam but looking forward to seeing our big boy soon!
