Wake up call was at
5:00am. We had lunch at a beach site. It
was a beautiful place and the noodles were nice. My noodles came last as they
ran out of the yellow noodles. Fong had her coffee with milk at the restaurant.
On the way to Ben Tre,
we stopped at a river side to wait for the ferry boat. People went to buy a lot
of junk. Our helper went to get roasted bananas for My Hanh’s family, 2 types
of cooked bananas and some lotus seeds. So we started eating all these and
Fong’s tummy felt sick.
Chua Phat Minh at Ben Tre
This was such a beautiful lunch but Fong didn’t
eat it.
We went to Chua Phat
Minh at Ben Tre. The nun in that temple went extreme to welcome us. She had
carts to fetch us; drums to welcome us; her talk to welcome us and a group of
young children to sing for us and last but not least, prepared us a huge lunch.
The group donated some money to the temple. Fong and I each donated separately
from the group.
Fong felt sick and
hadn’t eaten any lunch. During lunch she told me she had a stomach ache and
needed to go to the toilet. She went and after lunch she said she felt
light-headed. I went outside with her and she said she needed to go to the
toilet again. I went inside the toilet with her and she fainted. She hanged on
me and I tried not to let her fall. I yelled out loud for help and finally Co
Phuoc Son and Co Tam Phuoc heard. They came to help, lifting Fong up. I cleaned her and they took her away
to the abbot’s room. Co Tam Phuoc did a scratchy thing for her. Fong was
feeling ill. After all these traumas we went back to the bus and headed for Ho
Chi Minh City.
We didn’t have dinner
tonight. I checked my email and went to bed.
