Lichee Plantation on the Mekong River


Here we are visiting the Lichee Plantation on the Mekong River. We were able to watch how they harvest the Lichee and package it for sale.  We sampled several varieties and they were delicious!
Large ones with seeds and smaller ones without seeds.  Phyllis likes the ones with seeds, I liked them both :)  Blue's dad cut some beautiful flowers with a machete for us to have.  Every part of it is used.  The petals are edible and can be juiced too.  We tried the juice later that day at the market- very refreshing.
