Dreams can come true.
I don't really have anything else to add to that. Sure, I did a few other things... but I can't really remember any of it because I RODE A FRIGGIN OSTRICH. I rode a giant bird. A giant bird, people. It kept doing this weird ostrich-snarl thing and it's beak seemed way too ready to gouge my eyes out, but otherwise was a really nice mode of transport. Best damn two bucks I ever done spent. Okay, I'm reviewing my pictures and it appears I did other things than RIDE AN OSTRICH LIKE A GODDAMN CHOCOBO. Sand dunes! Lots of 'em.
Keep an eye out for Tusken Raiders.
Fun stuff, romping around the dunes. Something of a tourist trap for the Vietnamese though, they were there in droves upon picture-taking droves. I did manage to find a discarded sled and try my hand at some sand sledding away from the crowds. Found me the biggest, baddest dune around and gave it a good running start.
...and totally wiped out.
Otherwise, Mui Ne is a pretty rad town. Very resort-ed out, but the beaches are clean and not too crowded. Kite surfers flock here more than the Vietnamese do those dunes. Quite a sight during the day, with kites filling up the sky and little people far out in the surf jumping around and whathaveyou. Off to have some mouthwatering seafood. I'm parched after such a long day. I did ride an ostrich, after all.
Not quite ride-able yet.

Luke: "Eh, nothing much I guess random person who seems to be so oddly interested in my post collegiate activities....just ya know, riding ostriches, traveling the world, seeing the most pristine beaches, eating awesome street food and not getting sick, laughing at foolish tourists...the usual I guess."
.....you would, Luke......you would.

CHOCOBO?!
Hi Luke,
Ostriche riding looks like a hoot! Dune sliding, too.
Enjoying the updates.
