Vietnam: 2nd trip

The second field trip on which I was a bus leader was to the Mekong River delta.  Our first stop was to a Buddha temple.  Then we went on to the river and took two boat trips, one on the Mekong River and one in a small canal surrounded by a bamboo forest.  Although our day was geared for the tourist we did get a feel for the local life.

On our way to lunch we had a delightful mile+ ride in a smaller boat through a bamboo forest
