The True Meaning of Rainy Season

So, we knew when we came to Vietnam that we were coming at the beginning of their rainy season. Up to this point, that has meant that it was incredibly humid and hot all day. Then around 4:00 - 5:00 in the afternoon, it would rain lightly and cool down. It would only rain about 30 minutes just like it does in Florida. Well, Mitchell and I have now traveled to a little island along the border of Cambodia and Vietnam. Here the rainy season has a little different meaning. Every morning it rains until about 10:00 a.m. and then it rains again in the afternoon. This rain is not a quick shower. It is steady, but not hard. Today however, we have been informed that it might rain all day. It was suggested that today be a lazy day around the resort.

Resort, I love that word here. Back home a resort would cost an exorbitant amount of money. Here, it is no more than the price of a cheap hotel, and we are mere feet from the beach.


Today's pics on our picture gallery include days 10-12.
