2/27/2008: Due to the sudden onset of traveler's tummy among one of your intrepid bloggers (BDM) we have no culinary reports for this border town. See below for the not-too-graphic details...
Left Saigon for the Mekong delta and the border town of Chau Doc, about a 6 hour bus ride away. We stopped for quick lunch at some no name between here and there, and I ordered the 'Rispy' fried noodles. Turns out that the irish G.I. tract can't correctly process those noodles, and I was left in a rather, um...rispy state. Spent that evening an arms distance from the bathroom finishing up the first season of The Wire. By the next morning I was feeling better - albeit a few pounds lighter - and when we reached Phnom Penh, I was back to 100%.

Glad you are feeling better! It was probably bound to happen at some point in time, eh?

Glad to hear you were able to "bounce back" quickly from the bout with that common traveling malady. The pictures of the killing fields were very moving...I can only imagine the impact of being there.
Your adventure continues to entertain and amaze us...love to you both!
in LA, that kind of colonic costs some serious dough. can you import the Rispy noodles? we'd make a killing...
oh, and sweet blog idea. hope you get to do some sailing, too!
