The bowl of soup is what they call Pho. They have a few places in Houston that have it...I have not seen it in Lafayette. Anyway...you get a huge bowl of noodle soup with chicken or beef and then they give you things on the side to add to it (spices, herbs, bean sprouts...) It was very good. The best place to eat Pho is on the back street of the hotel we are in so I will try it today and let you guys know the outcome. The little brown fruits are a local fruit that Natalie can not get enough of. They have a weird texture once they are peeled but taste like grapes..sweet ones! There are several other local fruits we did not find at the grocery store but can be found at the market. So we will try to go there today if weather permits. The high has been around 88 degrees...so a big change from the states and Dubai!!! It has been raining here for 30 days straight but we have not seen any since we have been here. This is getting close to the end of rainy season...lucky us! I can not imagine what a typhoon looks like! Hope you guys are enjoying the scenery!!!
