More China

I have been a bit remiss in posting photos from our trip.  It's taken awhile to sort through the really good ones, as I want to bring you only the best. :-)  Enjoy the 2nd installment of the wonderful trip we took!

We took a stroll through the rural countryside.  This is a little village about 5 minutes out from our hotel.  To reiterate the heat factor--it is barely 8:00 a.m. and Michael has his shirt off.

A lady on her way to market.  We saw many people carrying loads in this fashion, and I couldn't resist a photo of such a lovely moment.

Another farming village.  Rice paddies ready for harvest are visible in the foreground.

A fishing raft.  The guy who used this was spear fishing, so he'd motor out to the middle of the river, put on his snorkel gear and catch a few fish.  He and his friends were grilling them on the beach a few feet away from us.

Yangshuo marketplace

Bamboo rafts floating/motoring down the Li River.  We rode a smaller version of these twice.  Cost was about $7 for a 40 minute ride.  Just lovely!
