Sunrise over the Mekong River

In Can Tho, we went to a floating market, which is where most local restaurants purchase their food for the day.  Of course, this means that they are purchasing their food really, really early in the morning.  But that's okay, because that means that I got to take some pretty cool pictures.  

Like this one, of the sunrise over the Mekong River.


Or this one, of the classic style of self-propelled boats.  As a rower, I'm not sure how these boats get anywhere.


Or this picture of some of the houses which abut the river.



Or this picture of people fishing.  They are bouncing up and down on those poles to get the net out of the water.


And of course, the floating market looks something like this:



Them's pineapples on that boat.  And hanging from this pole:



The produce hanging from the pole lets you know just what that boat is selling.  

Just a few more sights from the Mekong Delta.
