Cambodian Street Food






What's on the menu? Lots of fried food- such as- Fried tarantulas, fried grasshoppers, giant cockroaches, fried baby birds, and fried lizards. Who's hungry? Don't worry I just ate the lizards.

Royal Palace of Cambodia






This is the royal palace of Cambodia. It was an amazing place with many gardens and beautiful buildings. It also has a small house given to Cambodia by Napolean of France. It was a really hot day and to enter the palace you must wear long pants. However, it was worth it.

This is a video of a floating market in the Mekong Delta.

Natural Beauty of the Mekong






Some amazing flowers that we saw in the Mekong Delta.

The Mekong Delta Tour





We took a three day tour from Saigon, Vietnam through the Mekong to Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It was amazing seeing entire villages that spend their lives on the river- selling their fruits and vegetables on floating markets and raising their children on boats and small shacks up along the river. It was very peaceful while there was still a lot going on around us.

Easy Rider Tour- Dalat, Vietnam






We took a Easy Rider motorcycle tour around Dalat and saw great views of the countryside, as well as, a coffee plantation, a temple, a waterfall, a silk factory, a mushroom farm, and how to make rice wine. It was an eventful day to say the least.

Buddhas of Dalat, Vietnam






Here are various Buddha Statues all at one temple in Dalat, Vietnam. Anyone who has travelled in SE Asia knows that these are few in comparison to some temples that have seemingly endless statues.

Long Son Pagoda, Nha Trang, Vietnam






Here is a famous temple in the coastal town of Nha Trang. It had a large reclining Buddha Statue and a Buddha sitting atop a lotus flower. It also had a wonderful view overlooking the town.
