here, there, everywhere

A brief, photo-less post to say hello from Sa Dec, a small city in the Mekong Delta - for some reason, I haven't been able to post to this website from home but can apparently post quite effectively from a 1984-era computer collecting dust in our hotel lobby; at any rate, it's nice to be someplace ridiculously hot after a frigidly cold winter in Hanoi, and I'm having lots of fun driving (slowly) from town to town at a ridiculously lazy pace, drinking too much iced coffee at the endless cafes that are scattered along the road, and which all, quite awesomely, offer hammocks for drivers to rest in. At any rate, photos of rice paddies and kids dressed up in dragon suits to follow, hopefully; till then, happy Lunar New Year!!
