It occurred to us last night for the first time that in contrast to the first few weeks of our trip when our time in Viet Nam felt limitless, the last couple of weeks have absolutely flown by. We've somehow spent 5 nights in Ho Chi Minh City and had no real idea that it is already the 11th of December. Maybe we've gotten a little lazy and let the $2/hr massages get the best of us, but today we're finally moving on into the Mekong Delta. We need more riding bicycles and wandering aimlessly instead of the stuffy city life where we eat dinner, get a 2L of bia hoi for $.65, and look at souvenirs to buy for people. We are taking a bus this afternoon to Can Tho, the capital of the Mekong, and see what "the real vietnam" is all about.

The Mekong I got to experience was amazing... have a terrific time there!
Just had to remind Ryan that random comics are not game for posting on the blog. If he wants to entertain folks with diverse and unrelated things that entertain his own wandering brain, he can get his own blog. This one deals with Vietnam. Boo ya.
Not about Vietnam at all, but still... hope you're privy to all the Mitchell Report Clemens hoopla. Having a field day with it.
