Last night we went to the center city area for the press conf. It was at the Bong Sen Hotel where we stayed in 2006.
We then went to the Rex Hotel roof. The city was alive. There was a big display set up for the earthhour event. From what we learned, the five most vulnerable nations from global warming set up a time to shut down power for 60 minutes last night. VN has alot of low lands, so they would lose alot of land if the sea levels ever rose.. Remember the whole bottom of the country is a delta. I plan to check out www.earthhour.org to check into that event.
More of the team has arrived. Some folks were on the 2006 trip. great to see them again.

Today is the day we are leaving for Rach Gia. The buses leave at 7:00. We went to bed at 11:00, but Maddie woke up at 1:00 with a stomachache and therefore I (Tammy) woke up for the day at that point. By 3:00 everyone was awake! Still adjusting to the time change I guess. The good news is that at least we weren't rushing to get all our suitcases downstairs in the lobby.
We have a six hour bus ride and after we get there we start the big task of sorting through all of the donations everyone has brought! Tomorrow we start our work!
Will post again after we arrive.
