Rise and Shine!

So far I've written all Blog entries in chronological order by city we've visited but today I'm just writing because I'm a little behind on all my Vietnam entries and I felt like writing about something current.

We're in Nha Trang now which is beautiful and it feels so good to just hang out at the beach.

It's 8:52 am and I've already worked out, had breakfast, posted a blog entry, and am now researching Bali hotels. I know it's not a rough life but I feel like I've been productive! I went running at 5:40am. Seriously no joke. It is so hot and humid here that is the only time you can do it. Sunrise was at about 5:20am and I woke up to see 100's of people on the beach. It was packed! Mostly locals as the Vietnamese only go to the beach really early or in the evening....they don't like to tan and maybe they are just smarter than tourists because it gets so hot!!

This was the first time I was able to run outside. I've been wanting to but for the most part there weren't too many walkable areas to run in the cities we've been to. I'm sure I could have found parks but it isn't always as easy as you think when you're in a different country and not able to speak the language. Anyway, I was so happy to be able to run today....and being at the beach was another bonus. I definitely was one of few tourists up at 5:30am and at the beach but it was kinda cool hanging with the locals....well kind of. I lasted for 30 minutes. I would say that's pretty good considering I haven't run outside for at least 2 months and I think it was already 80 degrees with 70% humidity. Let's see if I can pull it off tomorrow. :)
