Scenes from the countryside

Taken in the countryside of My Tho, where I'm staying for my first week here. This is my family's central base, on the same land that belonged to my great-grandparents. It is a gorgeous area, surrounded by rice paddies and lush jungle life. I can easily walk into our backyard and get fresh guava, coconut, jackfruit, and lychee, all of which would be pretty pricey in the States. I've been spending my day exploring the area with my cousin Chanh, taking pictures, and just enjoying the stillness of country life. These are just some of the scenery/moments I've fallen in love with.
