... side and even almost went into the water one time I tried to cross a bridge. But we eventually got there, and had a pleasant peaceful night, listening to the sound of frogs...and lots and lots of rain!!!<br><br>The rest of the week has been uneventful...we're building walls every day and slowly slowly they are going up! Just two more days left and then I head for some sun and sea at Muine beach!!<br><br>Till then!!

... the museum of Ton Duc Thang, the second president of Vietnam after Ho Chi Minh. What a pretty place this turned out to be, at least on first glance. The grounds were immaculate and beautiful with winding paths, manicured lawns, shade trees and a stream filled with koi. It was quiet and peaceful, and there were few other people on the grounds. We walked a short distance to a rather grand structure which we took to be a temple venerating &#8220;#2,&#8221; as Bill and I started referring ...

... stopping to hand off the bikes to the crew (they'd followed us with the sampan&#8212;I would have liked to have been with them). Then we walked a short distance to the gated entrance of an absolutely gorgeous restaurant called Le Longanier. The architecture was what I consider very French Colonial with a wide wrap-around veranda leading through large open French doors into a huge tiled room with pillars, fans on the ceiling, everything polished and beautiful.

... herbs, shrimp, fish sauce, etc. YUM! Funny enough, I noticed my spring rolls were about twice the size of those created by the family. Everything's bigger for Americans, right???<br><br>We boated around the floating village and market, which was most excellent. Small boats approach larger ones, which display their wares. There appears to be some friendly bartering, a price is agreed upon, and the smaller boats then cruise on in search of the next needed item. Hoang ...

Travel on the Mekong River in Vietnam . take a small boat we can enter canals . It is the most interesting to see the waterways with the farm living. We should not miss walking to the village market in the morning to see the active business and cultural activity here.

... a Shoestring' was published. After an eight dollar cab ride to the bus station on the eastern edge of Saigon, we were able to catch a bus to Ben Tre for about $2.25. When we arrived, Mr Phat from the Thao Nhi guesthouse was there to greet us.
