Day 3 in Vietnam was spent in an area south of Saigon called the Mekong Delta. The Mekong River is one of the worlds great rivers and it ends at the South China Sea in an extensive river delta. This area houses a large number of rice fields which help make Vietnam the third largest exporter of rice in the world.
Our tour consisted of a boat ride to several different islands in the delta where we ate tropical fruit, saw local musicians perform, watched coconut candy being made, toured a small village, held a six foot python, and rode a cart pulled by a small Vietnamese horse. Undoubtedly some tourist kitsch involved here, but a very enjoyable day overall. We had some very memorable moments.
