I decided after more than 1000 photos the best way to tell you was in photos.
[Just a few photos to entice you]
This was one of our best relaxing vacation ever!

Vietnam was friendly, great food and recommended place for all our friends to visit!
We went to Ho Chi Minh City, Can Tho, Chou Doc
then on to Cambodia.

Nothing beats the smiles in the Chou Doc Market. One wonderful woman even asked me to take another as she was not smiling (no not in English-but quite clearly wanted to be the shown 1st photo then a "DO-OVER".)
 |
| WHAT A COLORFUL MARKET. |
 |
| Fruit is so fresh every place we went. |
 |
| THIS IS A DO OVER! WHAT A SMILE! |
 |
| FRESH FRESH FISH! Many fish were alive and jumping in shallow bowls. |

Chau Doc Supermarket where fresh means fresh!
On to Cambodia. Phnom Penh and Siem Reap. Angkor Wat, a UNESCO world heritage site is a place to see in your life time. So far it has not been totally destroyed. In over the 1000's of years since they abandoned the site- the jewels, silver, artwork and sculpture and gold are gone. Yet the splendor and heritage is still an experience to see.
The bad is the poverty and corruption that is still rampart in this country holds these nice people back from moving out of the 3rd world status.

| Phnom Penh |
The rural area outside-Phnom Penh although a nice few hours riding in the country side we saw happy waving families living under a tarp(s) or in extremely rural poor homes.
We were told the chance of education is minimal and food is what they have grown.

So It was fun. Next trip Malaysia---I hope.
