   A Peaceful Window into Cultures Living on the Water

   This short morning tour in Chau Doc felt anything but rushed. Hannah led us with care and intelligence, guiding us first through a Xe Loi ride and then onto a charming little boat. The floating fishing villages were unlike anything I’d seen — homes gently bobbing on the river, and then suddenly, an explosion of water and fish as food was tossed into their submerged nets. Hannah explained everything with heart and clarity. The Cham village was a true highlight — the quiet streets, the dignity of the mosque, and the skill of the weavers left me speechless. I loved that we weren’t just observing; we were part of it, even briefly. Cruising along the narrow canal in a sampan afterward felt timeless. Back at our hotel before 10, but with memories that will last far beyond.

   Short, Sweet, and Unforgettable — A Morning on the River

   We started early and ended early, but in those three hours, I saw more than I expected all week. Danh greeted us with quiet confidence, and soon we were bumping along in a Xe Loi through misty lanes. The river was alive with early activity. The floating houses were amazing — we visited one and saw how entire fish farms work beneath them. The energy when they fed the fish was incredible. Danh explained how much work goes into maintaining those underwater nets. Then we made our way to the Cham village — a place full of grace and color. Seeing the mosque, hearing the call to prayer, and watching the looms in motion was very powerful. The sampan ride through the canal was the perfect end — just water, trees, and light. Danh’s quiet insight tied it all together. I wish I could have stayed longer.
