Beach day

Today, we visited the beach.  We traveled down the River in HCMC.  We traveled down to the South China Sea.  It was the most beautiful place I have seen.  The sea was perfectly blue and the sky was clear.  This was a big change from the polluted water that we have been living with in the city.

We visited some of the mega worshiping sites such as the giant Mary and a large Buddhist pagoda.  At the pagoda, we learned some of the ways of worshiping such as releasing a bird and how to properly burn incense. After that, we climbed a huge mountain to see a large stature of Jesus on the hill.  It was a very long and tiering climbing.  The sun was hot and everyone was tired.

After that, we went to the beach.  Everyone got burned.  Unfortunately, no one had sun burn lotion.  I tried to go to the market and get some, but apparently Vietnamese don't get sun burnt, I couldn't find any.
