Today was another exciting day. We left our hotel in Ho Chi Minh City at about 8:00 am and headed toward the Mekong Delta. We stopped in Ben Tre and took a boat ride on the Mekong and visited a couple of islands.
The coconuts are plentiful in the Delta, and we all had a chance to drink some coconut milk.
Some of the students bought traditional conical hats for sun protection.
And all of this was just the first half of the day!
