Mekong Delta


I haven’t written in a while and I apologize as sometimes it gets to be overwhelming and then thinking about writing and trying to describe my experiences is even more overwhelming and so on and so fourth. The whole thing compounds and alas I don’t post for nearly two weeks. The general consensus over here has been that describing our trips and sometimes even our day adventures is such an overwhelming task that many of us don’t even bother to say anything at all.

That being said, a lot has happened and instead of a narrative this might read a bit more like a laundry list.

This weekend our program visited the Mekong Delta! 

A new accessory piece: a boa!

The pavilion where we had lunch

The ladies and the boa

Snake wine! (Made with a different boa)

Traditional Vietnamese music

the guest house where we stayed, quite literally IN the Mekong River

our beautiful mosquito net canopies 

I totally blend in



During our trip we traveled by boat, saw native music performances, ate a TON of food and native fruit, drank snake wine, went on bike rides, fished, swam, and generally enjoyed the region. Since this week I am struggling with words I will let the pictures do the speaking for themselves.
