Little stops along the way - Rice paper and coconut candy

Making rice paper....one lady sits here and pours the liquid on the boiling water, then onto the straw drying rack. The rice paper sits in the sun for 2 hours to dry.

Making coconut candy....amazing candy.

The final candies!!

Mekong Delta - southern Vietman

Sheena arrived on Monday night and we started on our bus/boat trip to Mekong Delta...sailed through the Floating Markets and little villages along the way. The first boat had a little motor while the others tagged along.

Gas station

Local ferry...foot and bike

typical view along the way....I do wonder how these houses stayed somewhat upright on such a small and thin base.

The start of our first 6 hours on the boat...this is one of the 3 boats that we took.

First few days in Saigon City - Feb 27

Cara and I had a couple of days in Ho Chi Minh city before Sheena arrived. In the market it was very common to see the ladies sitting right beside all the food picking at this feet and then handing out meat....we did not eat here!!!

Ho Chi Minh city....population of 9 million and about 6 million have a bike. The rule is to only worry about what is infront of you. The rule for crossing the street is not to stop or you will get hit.

Street vendor...some of these little ladies are very strong. Pushing and carrying food around all day in the heat.

A typical appartment building...skinny and tall...desks filled with clothes.

A view of District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City.
