Well, we thought that we would be able to do more blog posts while traveling, but it seems that the internet connection is very slow and we would rather spend our time enjoying the sights rather than sitting at a computer.  So we are sorry that this is only the second blog entry.  We will try to be better at blogging more frequently.

Since our last post, we traveled from Saigon to have a rural homestay experience in a village called Vihn Long in the Mekong Delta.  We slept under a mosquito net in an open air room.  At least there was running water, though!  We woke up early the next day and traveled on the back of motorbikes for 2 hours to Can Tho.  The ride was exhilerating, as long as we did not think of the danger (Mom and Dad, we wore helmets).  As we have said before the traffic here is chaotic at best.  We even got some video footage of the crazy ride.  In Can Tho we enjoyed a private tour with another couple, Matt (Kiwi) and Ethlen (Irish), of the Cai Raing floating market.  Vietnamese sell their veggies and fruits out of their boats on the Mekong.  It was quite interesting.  They even had vegetable billboards; the veggies and fruits available for purchase were dangling from a pole so you could see exactly what everyone was selling.
