Busy Weekend of Pictures
More pictures time time from our weekend to My Tho and our current locale, Nha Trang.
Tea and fruit at a shelter among the gardens of one of the islands in the Mekong Delta. Long here demonstrates how Vietnamese dip pineapple in salt. Try it!
One of the boys singing with accompanyment while we enjoy tea and fruit.
Reese and the python. Better her than me.
U of Minn students trying their hands and feet at crossing the monkey bridge.
Two little girls who were gracious enough to stop so I could snap their picture.
A canoe ride along one of the canals on the island.
The market in My Tho. Saigon's markets sell everything from food to t-shirts to trinkets. This one just sells food. Adam, Mandy and Reese (behind Mandy) are pictured here. Mandy is almost 6 ft tall and Adam is a few inches taller than her. It was fun watching everyone gawk at those two.
Kitten in a tree! Reese snapped this photo outside a restaurant in Saigon just before we flew out to Nha Trang.
Long points out some bits of history to Reese and Professor Dimrock at a Chum (sp?) pagoda in Nha Trang.
Two little boys posing for my camera with a very large Buddha in the background.
Coconut milk being prepared on one of the islands in the South China Sea. Here they call it the Vietnam Sea, of course.
Reese in front and I in back of a parasail.
The beach at another of the many Vietnam Sea islets. I learned to snorkel today. It wasn't easy at first as I'm certainly not at home in the water. But, once I got the hang of it the experience was quite relaxing, which was a pleasant surprise for me.
That's all for now! The internet connection here has been flaky, so this post took way longer than I intended.

Thanks for taking the time to post all the pictures and keep us updated. This is wonderful.
Are you keeping your pictures online anywhere? Flickr?
Glad you're all enjoying the pictures. I may be posting even more after I get back to the states as my time here on-line has been so limited.
Yeah, the food is wonderful. I'm considering volunteering one day a week at a local Vietnamese restauraunt to cook and learn/retain the language.
