Yesterday, Courtney met someone from Moose Jaw...well, he doesn't live there anymore, but he did live there for 6 years. His name is Clark Giles, and he's doing some missionary work in Vietnam, but he lives in Ontario now. Too weird.
Anyway, the room was cool last night, we had the air conditioner on all night. It was awesome!!! Slept good, but 6:00AM came pretty quick.
We finished packing, checked out, carried our stuff to Sinh Cafe, went for breakfast then waited for the bus.
Bus left about 8:00. We drove to an area called Rung Tram Forest, and took a boat down one of the many canals to a thick jungle area where we tok a rowboat (women rowed) through an area of think jungle where the Viet Cong had a hidden base during the war. The base was called "Xeo Quyt".
We had lunch about 1:00, then took motorboat back to the bus, and the bus left about 3:00.
While we were waiting for the bus, I was laying on a hammock, and one of the local kids around (who are very friendly, by the way), climbed up on top of me and went to sleep. Cute!
The bus had to take two ferries, one to cross the upper Mekong river, the other to cross the lower Mekong river. WE passed through Long Xuyen City and stopped at a hotel in Chau Doc town.
After getting into the hotel room, we went for supper with the rest of teh group, then Court and I itook off to a pharmacy so she could get more stuff for her neck, then back to the hotel, and I gave Court a massage on her back and neck. She did say it felt better after I did it.
We went to bed about 9:45, we were both soooooo tired.
37 degrees today. Too hot!
