The Mekong River Delta

In the Mekong River Delta area, locals still live on the islands, grow their own food and of course rice, and generally live a much slower way of life. What's surprising is that this area is only a couple of hours from downtown Saigon. Needing a break from the city, we were game to explore this area. One downfall, it rained the entire day. Its okay though because the rain was warm, and we were pleased to be exploring new areas!

So, wearing ponchos, we boarded a long boat and set off!
