day 56... sifting through the mekong delta

boat bound

for our tour of the life aquatic

where candy shops float

rice is steamed

and fried.
here black sand is used to make it pop like rice crispies

after which the (heavy) sand is sifted out and the rice is made into treats.
very yum indeed

back on the river more rice heads downstream

while we break for lunch

tummies full, we head upstream towards cambodia

and reach chau doc for one last night in vietnam
