Day 2 I crawled through Cu Chi's dark tunnels and emerged with red clay under my nails and a new respect for survival; Day 3 I floated on the Mekong's brown water, ate coconut candy, and fell asleep near Tra On to the sound of frogs and fireflies; Day 4 I woke at 5 AM for Cai Rang Floating Market and a woman threw me a mango from her boat that tasted like sunrise; Day 5 I flew to Nha Trang with salt already on my skin; Day 6 I snorkeled above coral gardens and a sea turtle glided past me like a dream; Day 7 I did absolutely nothing on white sand, watching clouds, letting the world be; Day 8 I left Vietnam with red clay in my shoes, mango on my tongue, a turtle in my memory, and a quiet certainty that I would return.
