Yesterday, we took a tour of the south part of Phu Quoc Island. The resort we are staying at provided us with a driver and tour guide who spoke English. I am so glad we had our guide, Thao, with us. He was able to explain many things about Vietnam and the island. He also answered all of our questions.
Once again we made many stops in one day. We visited a museum of the island, a pearl farm, a central market, the pier, a fishing town, a waterfall, a pepper garden(farm), and a fish sauce factory. The waterfall was beautiful and Mitchell got a little picture happy. (You can see how bad it was if you look at our pictures for the day.) We were suppose to stop at a Buddhist Pagoda, but we requested that we skip that stop since we have already seen several since coming to Vietnam. (The smell of burning incense is something that Mitchell and I will not miss when we leave. They burn incense everywhere you go.)
One thing we have noticed about the Vietnamese is they want to show you EVERYTHING. They are very proud of their country. You can tell that they do not have much understanding of America though. They don't realize how big the country is compared to Vietnam. They are amazed by things that are everyday in America.
We very much enjoyed our day and getting to ask questions of Thao. He was very informative and willing to tell us anything.
