Me Kong Delta

Today we visited the Me Kong delta.  The heart of Vietnam's rice industry (#2 in the world behind Thailand), the Me Kong delta provides sustenance for almost 30% of Vietnam.  We took a ferry to see the fishing boats and visit two islands.  On the first island we had tea and listened to some Vietnamese music and attempted to play their instruments.  On the second island we had more tea, but got to pick up the honeycombs we drank in our tea.  We passed the tray that the honeycombs were on around with all of the bees on it and you could press your finger into the bees slowly to get fresh honey.  They also had a python that a few people put on their shoulders.  We also got to see the process of making coconut candy and try fresh coconut.  Finally, we took a sampan  ride through a canal back out to our ferry.  Tomorrow we are visiting the Cu Chi tunnels outside Saigon, should be an amazing day.
