One reason you should get away from the tourist avenue and explore the nearby local’s alley. Near China Beach, Vietnam, I got a haircut, and a scary but effective, ear wax removal for a grand total of about $1. Now the loud truck and bus horns will really hurt!

A day of tandem bicycle touring with Bob Rogers and Claire Rogers in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, on their adventure beginning in Tibetan Sichuan and going through Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. We’d happened upon a Buddhist celebration revering mothers. We listened to the chants and gongs and were soon invited to the feast to follow. I watched Winnie tenderly feed her animated 90 year old grandmother. I told Winnie how lucky she was to still have her mother and grandmother. We tried, unsuccessfully, to fend off the large quantities of food that were being packed for us to ride away with. After meeting with the head monk and making conversation, Bob was able to give our translator the gift of a pair of reading glasses, which he evidently needed. We are enjoying the Mekong delta in Vietnam, the ferry crossings, the traditional, and changing ways of life. We will cycle up what we think is a tiny road upriver; then again we might get lost, again. |
