Another Facebook album link. (This is part of the project I explained about in this post HERE.) This one is a 2016 trip to the Floating Eco-Tourism Village in Long An Province.
The primary appeal of this place was that it could be reached as a day trip from Ho Chi Minh City. Usually we don't get out of Ho Chi Minh City unless we have a long vacation coming up, but this was a couple hours drive down, and a couple hours drive back.
...although, my primary memory of this trip was the agony of the drive down and back. Because I don't drive a motorcycle, I sat on the back of my girlfriend's (now wife) motorcycle. And I learned that being perched on the back of a motorbike is okay for short trips, but not long trips. My butt was already pretty sore just from the trip down. On the trip back, I started out with a sore butt, and it just got worse and worse. I ended up having to ask the girlfriend to stop the motorbike several times just so I could stand up and walk around. It took us forever to get back.
If I ever go again, I'm going to hire a taxi.
