I was really nervous for this trip. last visit here did not end well for my guts. but both my toe and my tummy have survived Vietnam this time. in fact, we ate some incredibly delicious food and fell a bit in love with Hoi An’s charm 💛✨

Happy Christmas from Hoi An! and yes, those are matching Christmas sweater sunglasses because you know how us Walkers do 😎

real talk: I’m being “forced” to sit with this view instead of spending more time exploring the adorable but treacherously uneven streets of ancient Hoi An. if you know me, you understand that while I love spending time reading in the sun, I desperately loathe any kind of mandatory inactivity. it’s been two months since I sliced open my foot and I am equal parts grateful that I am healed enough to come on this trip, and frustrated that I’m not up for my usual level of walking activity. my toe is still tender, my ankle sore, my calves tight. but every day I can go a little bit further. here’s hoping for a Christmas miracle that I can make it all the way to the Japanese bridge tomorrow 🤞🏼

lanterns, lanterns, everywhere 🏮 spending the next week exploring historic Hoi An (when I’m not resting my still-recovering foot by the pool)

things to feel grateful for this weekend: a fancy holiday staycation downtown with excellent views 🥂 a husband who tolerates my micromanaging of the christmas tree decoration process 🎄 friends who make excellent physical therapy recommendations 💪🏼 and taking some very tiny and very painful steps - but, steps! - across the living room today 💃🏻

highway sunset, popcorn clouds ✨ I ventured out into the city yesterday (still on crutches) but for the first time: wearing a shoe! I definitely took it off under the table at the restaurant... and in the cab... but still, a shoe! I’m not walking yet but as my husband said, “baby steps” 😂
