On June 13th we went to a wedding in Thao's hometown for her highschool friend. The bride lives very far from the groom in another province, so he had to wake up at 2am to go pick up the bride!
It was very hot that day, but still a lot of fun with all of Thao's highschool friends
Toasting the groom. The guy next to me was drunk and kept talking to me all day, but it gave me a good chance to practice my Vietnamese ;))
Wow, you can see how long my hair is! I think it is longer than Thao's now!
A silly pic with the groom.
Still the cutest couple in Ba Vi!
My sexy wife in front of her parent's new store.
I helped out in the store too! I sold some Ajinomoto to a customer... Actually Thao's mom wasn't there, so I had to run back to the house to ask how much it was, then I could sell it! ;))
It was my birthday that day, so my new family prepared a feast for me. I watched how my brother cooked the big fish:
1. Beat the fish on the head with a stick
2. Shove the stick deep up the fish's mouth
3. Put the stick in the ground, so the fish is hanging straight up
4. Put a lot of hay around the fish
5. Light it on fire and try not to feel bad when you see the fish flapping around
6. Let it smoke for 10-15 minutes or so
It was verrry good!
Tom is kissing me.:D
Thao thought it would be a good idea to give the baby some cake.... uh oh!
I only hold babies when they are cleaned up!! :)
The next day we went to Khoang Xanh resort in Ba Vi to go swimming with Chip and her friends.
Well, the kids went swimming anyway... Thao went swimming for 5 minutes and then saw it was very dirty and full of seaweed and spent the next 30 minutes in the shower! And after we got home, Chip's Mom has almost an hour to shower for Chip. (Chip in green swimming suite)
After that we went to visit #4 sister at her new house. Tom and Father Vinh.
He wants my coca cola.
The next day we went to Ao Vua, where we had our wedding photoshoot.
I was surprised to see these pools here, I have been to Ao Vua so many times, but never came up to this part :)
Of course, we met lots of Thao's family there... At the beginning Thao thought they were just the guests, but then one of those guys found out that Thao was there so they came and introduce themselves to Thao... Oh you know what, they are all Thao's family but just coz Thao didn't come back to her hometown much, they didn't know each other unti now.
I call this pic "Staying cool in the hot summer"
The new hotel they are building looks very nice. Even the shops have all been fixed up
We see the raining coming from the mountain. Time to go home.
