More pictures from Can Tho!

Here are some more pics! To read about our weekend in Can Tho see the post below this one :)

Photo: Candy anyone?? As many of you know I love candy :) I will bring lots of it home to share! So far I think I like American candy better though. The jars are filled with more traditional Vietnamese candy. Like coconut chews, dried and crispy bananas, peanut things--I dont know how to explain the rest of the weird ones.
Photo: We sometimes took moto's places instead of taxi's. However, many "moto-drivers" are more along the lines of creepy men that just want to give people rides places, so we had to be careful. They are all really friendly though. My first moto ride was really fun! All of the American coaches traveled in the same group of moto's. It wasn't nearly as scary as I expected because you never go very fast. I just got a little nervous since there is lots of swerving and everyone drives close together. Its pretty much a free for all.

Photo: Sometimes the streets just have random things like this. (Chickens in cages)
Photo: Inside the food section of the supermarket. Choco Pies are sometimes snacks for the kids at camp. Not my style, but some of the other American coaches like them. I am pretty sure that they are similar to Hostess cakes or twinkies.
Photo: this is a Vietnamese "pancake." It was pretty good but had a little too much flavor going on. (Meat, mushroom, duck, onions, carrots, peppers etc all wrapped in an egg batter pretty much--we dipped this in a really good/spicy fish oil.) By the way, I'm becoming a pro at chopsticks :) Using fingers is a major NO NO in Vietnam--except for eating some fruits.

I can only post a few pictures per blog but I'll post more later!
