On Saturday we drove with eight other people from Ho Chi Minh City to Can Tho near the southern tip of Vietnam. The drive there took most of the day and went through the rice basket of Vietnam, the Mekong Delta. We stopped at a few places along the way, including a war memorial.
Memorial stone for "Ap Bac Victory" (Jan. 2, 1963) amongst the rice fields.
Shot down helicopter with Southern Vietnam's colors.
The memorial's staff were cleaning it while we were there.
Traditional Mekong meal. Whole fried chicken (feet and head included), wild river eel and fresh chicken eggs. The eel was good, but I wasn't a fan of eating the chicken with the skin on it.
Puppy cleaning up the bones at the restaurant.
Lotus in pond at rest stop.
