While on our honeymoon I caught many sights and sounds of a country reborn: Vietnam.
Up close, looks different. Richer. Stronger. Incredible history and inspiring strength. Prior to walking the streets there, I had a history book perspective. In front of me, talking with folks and walking with them, my view shifted. What I believed to [...]]]></description>
