♥ Vietnam Day 9

Woke up at 9 am this morning and ate cơm gà for breakfast. Usually we have to order food for breakfast but this morning, breakfast was already made for us. Yum!


At 2:30 pm, we left to go to church. The mass was at 3:30 pm and it was a children’s mass. For a few hours before mass, children whose parents have signed them up for Sunday school are split up into groups of 5 or so where they sing, dance and learn about God. When it was time for mass, all of the children sat inside the church while all the parents and adults sat around the outside of the church
 







After mass ended, we walked over to the bookstore. After browsing around, I brought several plaques: 4 large plaques for 22,000 VND each ($1.10 CAD), 1 medium plaque for 13,000 VND ($0.65 CAD), 2 small plaques for 12,000 VND each ($0.60 CAD). I also bought 2 small rosaries (pink & purple) for 8,000 VND each ($0.20 CAD)










We left after a few hours in the bookstore, we started to head home. It was pouring and so we grabbed any taxi that we could find



 For dinner, we ate banh canh. Yum!
