We are so excited to see them! We went to Dalat airport to pick them up last night. It was our first time riding down the mountain since we came in September! Caleb loved the 30-min ride through the hills. And when the taxi stopped in front of the airport, I thought he took us to the wrong place because I did not recognize the modern structure in front of us. Turns out the airport was remodeled and just opened two weeks ago! When we came in September, it was an old little building, and now it is a two-story airport building with very modern architecture, and two huge Christmas trees all decorated at the entrance! Yes, Vietnam is developing indeed.
We helped my mom and dad check in at the hotel and went to dinner. It was a little chilly for them and the sidewalk was a little hard to maneuver but they've been to China experiencing similar things on their short-term trips. My dad said Dalat reminds him of Cheung Chau (Long Island) in Hong Kong.
It started raining last night, which is quite unusual for this time of year. And our teammate is hosting a January triple birthday party for herself, a Japanese teacher, and Andy this evening in the backyard. My parents will get to meet students and the community here.

Hey! Happy B-day Andy! Did you ever think that at whatever your age is (must be around 60, right? :) ) that you'd be teaching English? Anyway, hope you had a great party. Has Caleb even had one yet? Does he even know what a birthday party is? :) (Just teasing, Grace! Don't hit me!)
