Aunty Natty and Beth came down to see us. Beth drove all the way and back again! We had soup and toasted sandwiches and then the girls scootered or rollerbladed with Beth while the mummies walked with cups of tea, all the way to the foreshore park. Then we returned for some fresh ‘disaster bread’ (as Emily likes to call it) with butter and jam.

Thanks Sonya’s Garden in Tagaytay for the recipe!

Emily said with much wonder and enthusiasm, ‘Denmark has SO much HISTORY!’

We had a star fruit tree by our house in Ha Noi and Emily would eat these every day they were in season- right off the tree! How fun to find these in a local deli (very NOT free like that tree we used to live by….) 😉

It’s so beautiful down on the beach. The air is so cool and fresh. The scenery is always changing with the weather, and there are often boats coming and going. Some fishermen had a tiny dog that loves children and was adored by Lani. All three girls ran off up the beach with it after the poor thing fell in the water jumping from boat to jetty, so he needed a run to get dry again.
