Can Tho

We got up early again to meet with Jason SuperStar. We sat atop our boat for a better view of the floating market. As Greg mentioned in his blog, it was overcast, so no epic sunrise shots over the market, unfortunately.

It was still interesting to see, though. We pulled up next to one of the boats that had a mountain of pineapples in its hold. A lady sliced one up right in front of us and passed it over to our boat - a delightful little morning snack. We later ended up walking through a market, where we witnessed such appetizing delights as pig's head, pig's ear, pig's cheeks, and the intriguing pig's eyes. There was also rat if you're into that. We ended up getting chicken and rice. Not exactly what I was craving for breakfast, but we got to sit on tiny plastic stools.

People really seem to enjoy sitting very low to the ground here. I'm not sure why - it really isn't that comfortable. I guess there's a chair shortage in Vietnam.

Anyway, after our fine breakfast of chicken and rice, I'm really starting to crave an In N' Out Burger. That may be my first stop after getting back to L.A.

We've actually had some pretty good meals here, but I think it's reaching the point where I just really want a big juicy burger and sweet potato fries - finished off with some of Nicole's chocolate chip cookies. We spent a little bit of time on an island in the Mekong/investment miscalculation. I guess someone thought tourists would come in droves. Nope, just us. We got to fish for crocodiles, though. They seemed to like chicken for breakfast much more than I did.

Tonight we're in Rach Gia - a town we know nothing about. Cross your fingers for wi-fi.
