Today the exciting thing I did was jump on a little boat used for bringing food to market and took a ride around the river. To my suprise the boat had pfds. The captain, a woman between 35 and 45 took me over to the Can Tho Bridge and then through some windy channels while pointing to things to try to teach me some Vietnamese. I now know Luoc is water...or at least that is the finetics of it. I tried to say some of the words but I am sure I butchered them. We do not have a lot of these sounds in English. I asked me how to say some of the items she pointed to in English. After pointing and repeating alot of English and Vietnamese between the two of us we arrived at an Island with fruit trees and fish ponds. They were also growing snakehead which was cool to see. They also had snakes and turtles there too eat. I opted for the mango and beer...ummm. On the way back she let me drive the boat for a little while. Nothing like a little fun touristy stuff.
