If there was one thing I could take with me from the incredible country of Vietnam, with all of it's varied culture and traditions, rich forests and living history, it would be......... (don't laugh)..... the fish!
   Yes, I love the fish!  That's why it gets the first spot on my page!  Because it is SO good. You don't understand.  I liked it so much - one evening we were in the Vietnam House, and we of course all ordered fish.  Well now, everyone else ate their fish like normal human beings.  Me?  I scarfed down mine ,and then when my friends were finished, I sat there and stole their plates and ate the little leftover fish bits that they had missed.  I ate the bones, I ate the skin, I probably ate the little pieces my friends had spit back out onto their plates.
   Some say that people are destined for something, that at birth our lives are laid out, we are given a calling.  Well, if that's true, then mine is eating this fish!  Mmmmm!!

   On the topic of food, here's a great shot of Terry and Michelle sipping on some fresh coconuts as we sailed down the Mekong Delta.  I generally gag on coconut, but this fresh coconut milk wasn't bad at all.
   After several days in the heart of Ho Chi Min City, possibly the most frantic insane city in the world (especially when trying to cross the street), this relaxing trip out to a tropical fruit island wasn't bad at all.
