Climbing to the top of the Vung Tau mountain.......(Photos Added)

On December 1st, our last day in Vung Tau, Matteo and I headed up to the mountain to climb to the Jesus statue...It was a challenge of a climb, over 300 steps (I think)....hot and beautiful. I carried Matteo all the way up (though people we encountered along the way, kept volunteering to carry him..). I felt that this pilgrimage was symbolically like the life we were embarking on. Life will sometimes be hard, but after the struggle or a challenge, the view, like this mountain, was spectacular.......as you can see Matteo fell asleep as we arrived almost to the top. I also promised Matteo that we would climb this mountain every-time we go back to Vung tau...and I hope there are many times we travel back to the place where our life as a family began....
