Dalat - My Future Home and the One Where I Found Out I Ate Rat

Let me start off by saying, I LOVE DALAT. I am going to move here! It's in the mountains, so the weather is cooler and it's so hilly! There are a lot of hiking opportunities and a beautiful lake in the middle of the city. We became good friends with Phuc, our tour guide from the Mekong, and he met us up in Dalat to show us around.

And, by the way, Phuc let me know the "bird" he fed us while we were touring the Mekong Delta was actually rat. Lovely. Though, it did taste pretty good. Couldn't be mad for long.

Below are pictures and videos from our few days in Dalat!


Check out that range of mountains!

That first night, we walked around the night market.

We tried this delicious salty snack, only made in Dalat. They cooked rice paper over the coals and brushed an unknown batter over it (eggs, green onions, and fish sauce, maybe?)

A pretty large night market!

The next day, Phuc convinced us the best way to see the city was by motorbike.  I rode with Phuc while Angela and Lynn rented their own. Go Lynn!

We passed by a beautiful church.

We saw how absolutely stunning Dalat is!

More lakes! I love lakes!

Sliding down a mountain and lightening speed!

Then, Phuc took us to Dalat's ghost house!

The following day, we hiked to the peak of Langbiang Mountain.
