Floating through the Mekong Delta

---

Today we left the city and checked out to Ben Tre so we could enjoy the Minh Cong Delta. It's part of Vietnam produces a lot of the agriculture rice and fish that the country eats. Water is everywhere, the humidity makes me sticky, and I'm a tad bit burnt - not a bad day at all.

We visited a nice farm where we were treated to some local music, fruits and honey - we even got to hold the beehive!

We then moved on to a quick float down the river before seeing how coconut candy is made. Creamy, not too sweet, delicious! We moved onto lunch after another longer trip down the river on a bigger boat. We were served what looked like a carp type of fish, a pancake filled with noodles and meats and vegetables, fried rice, and various other good things!

After a stop to see a pagoda with the sitting, sleeping and happy buddha, we then moved on to Can Tho, where I'm kicking my feet up and relaxing. My feet are swelling up and I'm bruising like crazy, but overall in great spirits.
