The paridise island of Phu Quoc

Monday morning, we took a hour flight to Phu Quoc, pronounced "fu wuk". The resort picked us up and we immediately went for a swim. Later we found a terrific local Vietnamese diner and chowed down on seafood. This is the seafood capitol of Vietnam especially known for their shrimp and squid of which I have already consumed vast quantities. Tuesday morning found us back in the South China Sea teaching Uyen how to swim. Then a stroll into the village for more seafood. The island reminds me a little like Maui except that Phu Quoc is such a better value. We rented a new motor bike for $10 a day and plan to explore the entire island over the next few days. Every day just keeps on getting better and better. Sorry that the pictures have to wait until we get back to Saigon because the wireless at this hotel just can't handle the uploads. Well, I'm going top "Get my motor Runnin" and head out on the highway. Later
