Mekong Delta (The Village)



During the course of this trip, we have literally taken over a thousand photos plus a couple of dozen videos. Our trip through this village could have resulted in me posting dozens of pics. It is extremely hard to pick just the best ones for you.

From the rice fields, to the hard working people, to the children.... ahh, the children. They captivated me. So adorable, so animated, as fascinated with us as we were with them. Sonja handed out sticks of gum and became an immediate favorite.

I asked one of the crew from the boat if they minded us walking through their village and he said that the villagers really didn't understand why we were doing so. He said that they didn't understand the concept of "tourists" and they kept referring to us as "My" (pronounced moy)... or Americans. Even though most of our party was German, everyone was "My".

Enjoy the pics. This village will remain with us forever.

I'll continue our Mekong River trip in the next post. The floating market and another village where Sonja got to make rice noodles!
