Remembering Vietnam

January 27, 2020

When I opened my eyes a few days ago, sometime between 6:30 and 7am, the first person I saw was my wife, laying next to me with our dog nestled between us. Outside our bedroom window, I couldn’t separate the giant pine tree that usually sways its bathrobe-wide arms from the dark winter morning sky. “Can you believe a year ago today we were in Vietnam?” she asked. I could not. Wearing shorts in January, swimming in rooftop pools, riding on the back of Vespas through Ho Chi Minh City, and eating steaming bowls of pho in loud markets a few stalls away from women selling pig snouts and other innards felt like just weeks ago, not a year gone by. I thought about that trip, our delayed Honeymoon adventure, for the rest of the day. Here are some of my favorite shots from our two weeks exploring Vietnam together.
