We took a day-long tour around Cat Ba Island/Ha Long Bay. This place is ridiculously photogenic. Let me assure my friends, yes, this is still Earth, and yes, it is real. Somehow.

Along the way the guides took us to one of the floating home/floating fish farms. They live in little shacks on the water and keep fish in nets lowered in the water. The guides said there's over 2000 people living this way in the area. Other than being on the water, it looks like any other low-wage village around here, complete with dogs corner stores, etc.

Oh, and it turns out this is the time of year to come! Weather was great and the place was not busy. We had the entire boat to ourselves!

So .. most may have seen the previous pictures and I promise this will be the last for now!

Brief re-cap: I have 3 photos in this book from my Waverly Hills photoset ..

(Weird Kentucky + Waverly is really weird = photos in book)

I saw the book at Barnes and Noble Monday and HAD to buy it and could not wait (knowing this was coming in the mail). So .. I'm out today briefly battling the area otherwise known as my backyard / wildlife preserve and Mr UPS shows up with my book. Again .. I have a copy in my house but still .. :D

Bonus .. they signed the inside for me .. now I really like these guys!!

I'll post links to the other photos below. I know some people are like publishing fools but it's still a very cool feeling when the books show up at your door (or when you see them in the bookstore) .. :) I don't have them all up here but this tag gets you to the two books I have posted here.

Here's the link to the book on Amazon's website.
