Day 2 - Bike or Bus to Dong Thap Province

At a quarter to 6 this morning 5 of our team members set out on some road bikes to travel to Dong Thap. Is it being adventurous or just plain crazy? Thankfully they were followed by a motorcycle as well as a van with a doctor, nurse, and bike repairer! They had some surprised looks from people and some near death experiences but after 7 hours they made it!

The rest of us took a scenic bus ride (we had a karaoke bus and a not so loud bus) to Dong Thap where we will be for 3 days accomplishing our humanitarian tasks. We are excited to begin our "real work" and then end it with the camp!

Unfortunately the connection is SOOOOO slow that we can't post pictures until friday night! So sorry! But keep reading!
