Today I ate a mindboggling salted jellyfish salad at Highway 4 in Hanoi. The jellyfish was nothing like anything I’d ever had in the States – usually jellyfish is yellow, not clear white with spots, and its consistency is kind of chewy-crunchy. The salted jellyfish I had today was lighter in its crunchiness without the chewiness, and the herb salad and marinade had a sweet, savory and sour mix of familiar, perfectly executed Viet flavors.

This was the best salad I’ve ever had.

We are leaving Whale Island tomorrow... It’s been an interesting experience living in a straw hut on a desert island, but I’m ready to move on. Jason enjoyed his open water scuba diving course. He’s now a certified scuba diver! Next up, Hanoi.
