50)VIETNAM: in pictures: On The Water
While in Vietnam Chip and I stayed primarily on the Mekong Delta. We entered in through Saigon, but really only spent a day and a night there. The delta is really an interesting place to visit- a lot of the woman were the typical hats one would think of when they envision Vietnam, and a lot of their daily life revolves around the water. People are constantly on boats, and there are several “floating markets” on the delta. The floating markets are basically a collection of boats in one area selling and buying a huge variety of goods, but mostly fresh fruits, vegis, and fish (as far as I could tell).

This last picture is too cool ~ do those ladies ride the river selling that fruit? It looks like they have a scale and Pick 'n Save bags on their boat!!
Are those clothes hanging in the back of the boats? Do they sell those from the boat also or is that someone's laundry hanging to dry?
These are amazing pictures ~ they do not even seem real!
