Well that wasn't how I imagined it at all . . .

We've now reached Rach Gia: where the Mekong Delta flows into the Gulf of Thailand. We are a long way from Saigon, but you almost wouldn't know. We spent three hours in a car today and saw two rice paddies. Going through the Mekong Delta is about as rural as a trip down the 101. Everyone (including the Eyewitness Guide to Vietnam) is a liar. But tomorrow we depart the Mekong Delta region by speedboat. Our vessel is the SuperDong III. Ha!

Anyway, Jason SuperStar gave us some CDs to remember our little journey through the delta. As they are pretty much the only pictures of Greg and I together, I thought it appropriate to post them now since I don't really have anything new since my last posting.

Jason SuperStar begins to give us food that we don't know.

Last time I drove a boat, it was probably on rails.

Here we have Jason SuperStar himself - with our Mekong lunch.

And finally a picture of us receiving a pineapple from the floating market this morning.




Right now we're just relaxing in our $15/nt hotel suite with balcony. We are the only westerners in this town except for two others we saw walking down the street earlier. And they stood out like Marcus Brody in a Tunisian market. We, on the other hand, blend right in.

Next update will be from Phu Quoc Island!
