Phu Quoc Island
Phu Quoc is beautiful. When we arrived yesterday it was raining (typical) so we took the free bikes offered by the resort and explored a bit. We biked through the town and stopped for a quick bite along the way. Note to self – only eat at restaurants where there are other people dining. Very important lesson.

All of a sudden I am brimming with enthusiasm and energy. The afternoons do get a little dull since we are so ...

Last night we drove back to Can Tho to visit the supermarket. This weekend we are going to the beach and we need supplies! We arrived around 7:00 at night and the store was crawling with people. To my fellow Americans: think the Mall a couple of days ...
