Moment of rest on the delta

MEKONG DELTA
It was suggest I look up the Sinh Cafe as a point of reference
in the city -- good food, cheap lodging, easy tours, and the best
cafe au laits in the country. For $27 I booked a three day tour
to the Mekong Delta. Unfortunately, I expected eight people
and got sixteen.
The tour included some boat rides
in the delta, a few craft shops, an incense factory, some of the friendliest
people in the world, and a jungle hike. I It amazed me how
swampy it was. I wouldn't have survived that war. My shoes
were too dirty and bothered me all day. The nice paths were
not part of the war scene. Life in the Mekong Delta would have
been hell in the war.
