Pictures coming later.
Out of hotel at 8:00 one hour drive to sampan ride in river. We were to go up and down tributaries. But the water was to low so we went up and down the large.river. Miles of fish hatcheries. Growing pink tilapia. I have been thinking about not eating tilapia anymore. Because of the growing conditions. But this did not look bad. The water flowed and was a large river. The people live on the water. They will leave their kids with grandparents if possible. So they can go to school. Dogs ,were with them. Laundry drying . And taller round "garbage pails" that were out houses. The stuff goes into the river. Duy calls the public bathrooms, Happy Rooms. Since I have traveled to some poor countries, I have experience with bathrooms. These are not bad. All real toilets. Usually toilet paper and free.
Lunch was good and authentic food.
The roads are packed with people. Going home for Chinese New Year. The vacation begins today. 3-4 people on a scooter. The women are completely covered to protect from tanning. Mask, jacket, gloves, hat. It is over 90 degrees. HOT!
Duy says, they are used to dressing that way. Not everyone is covered but many. Duy says his wife also covers all. But he is able to buy her lightweight clothing. Such as safari clothing. She does not want a tan!
