TTT (The Tara Times)

We finally decided on where we are going next and here it is: Vietnam 

I made a cake for my fathers birthday and it was amazing. Riley was not really very helpful all she did was eat the frosting eat the pretzels eat eat eat.

I inherited my Mothers maverick bike (if you are not familiar with a maverick it is a sweet none color bike.) So me and my Dad went mountain biking and it started to rain if that wasn't bad enough it started to hail and it hurt. The only good thing about the trip was the wendy's afterward. When we got into the car our bikes were disgusting so my Mom was mad because the car was all messy. I have some pics for you below.

  We just got up to this wonderful hostel now and are getting settled in.  Tara

  Hey guys sorry I didn't get to you sooner we have been very busy, here are all the things we did. Pandas (as I promised in my last post to show you.) Peek a boo I am a snuggle bear   Red pandas Roar  I am mean don't touch me  Then to the farm     This was our room Our bathroom Our lunch And this where they cook the food  Then we went hiking to see little waterfalls 

  Today we went to see the pandas they where amazing.   I will show you pictures in the next post( and let me tell you i have a lot of them.) but now we are going to the next night bus. Tara 

  Today we went on another bike ride to a lake where we took bamboo boats across the river. Then we went fishing, we did not acually fish, so what happened is that the birds fish catch the fish but can't swallow them because of a band around its neck, then when it has one in its neck the man holds it by the neck and the fish comes out.( sorry no picture because it was too dark outside.) Now we are going on a 25 hour train sorry won't be taking for a little bit.   Tara

  Today we got off of the night bus and went to see our new tour guide so she could take us to the hostel. We met her later that day and went to rent bikes to ride to moon hill, and it had 900 steppes in it ( I only have a pic of the top of the mountain sorry).  Then we went on our bikes to a mud bath it was really weird but kinda fun at the same time (I do have a pic but the people in there aren't us I got it of the Internet), also while we were there we saw some wonderful color rocks which where lit up by lights ( pic below). Next I had to go to the bathroom, and the bathroom was a hole in the ground that water could rush in and take the STUFF away ( pic below.) when we where all done we rode back home. After dinner Riley and I had a huge ice cream cone (sorry I don't have a pic but if I don't get sick from it I will get another and show you) . Miss you all and have a good night.
