Vietnam
Mekong Delta
May 2010 • The humidity is merciless, like an endless prelude to a colossal thunderstorm, yet many Vietnamese wear long pants, long sleeves, hats, and face masks to guard against the browning effects of the sun. I poured sweat just looking at them. After the tour, S&B headed back to HCMC, and I beached myself on Phu Quoc Island with five other travelers who were on the same ferry. Rapport was instant and easygoing; four days later everyone was off in a new direction. Cheers to Sofia, Steve, Justin, Jasmine, and Sara.
