Cu Chi

Lou took a visit to meet her Great-Grandmother and various Aunts and Uncles in Cu Chi yesterday. Cu Chi is a pleasant county with plenty of paddies and greenery, and Chi and I have tentative plans to build a house there some time. Land will be betrothed by grandma but it needs to split between her seven daughters (the boys already have theirs), leaving around 500m2 each. Not really enough for the palace we have planned. One of the main features, if we did build a house, would be the garden. Growing my own fruit and vegetables is the ambition, and around Grandma's house there were plenty of trees in flower.

There was also Durian and Mango trees in the garden with no fruits.

A couple came by the house with a bucket containing a smashed up bees nest, bees included, selling the freshest honey you'll ever find.

Uncle's house, with wood pile, pig shed and banana trees. He sold six four month old pigs for $1000. Not bad business I reckon...

Then of course the most important thing of the day, lunch.
