These are some of the 600 local villagers putting on an amazing light show about a popular folk tale of musically-gifted Liu Sanjie. #localtalent #yangshuo2018
The “Flying Waterfall of Snow Mountain” in the Silver Cave. Throughout the cave H said, “This is SO cool!” about 100 times. #yangshuo2018 #silvercave #wonderofchildhood
Guilin was occupied by the Japanese during WWII but American volunteers came to fight in “Flying Tigers”. Our hotel celebrates the fact. #flyingtigers #greatestgeneration #mansion1940 #yangshuo2018
Shells of Sai Wan, Hong Kong. Interesting the white clams, black clams, and those striped black and white. #saikungcountrypark #bivalveshells #cowrie #topsnail
Hong Kong used to be volvanic. Hard to see, but these cliffs are composed of hardened lava tubes from an ancient volcanic cauldron. #lavatubes #saikungcountrypark
This Vietnamese fishing boat trolled up and down the beach the whole morning we were at An Bang Beach. Hope he caught something! #vietnamesefishingboat #visforvietnam
Hoi An’s Central Market bustles with local produce sellers, including this lady bagging up coconut shavings to sell. #hoiancentralmarket #deliciouscoconut #visforvietnam
Likely the best coffee I’ve ever had from Reaching Out Teahouse run as a fair-trade business by the local deaf community. #reachingoutteahouse #beautyofsilence #vietnamesedripcoffee
Rosie’s Place. Wow. Great food down a quiet alley. Run by teo Hoi An young ladies who went to uni in Saigon and returned for the “quiet life”. #rosiescafe #visforvietnam #muesli #passionfruitseeds #creamybananavariety
The tea(?) lady: rides around all day declaring her presence. Each morning she stops by our place and our hostess gets her herbs(?) and they share the daily gossip. #lifeinhoian #visforvietnam #tealady
Hilarious and informative cultural water puppet show! How to catch fish: swim fast or use a trap (swim fast one worked). #waterpuppetshow #visforvietnam
We sat in this man’s livingroom-turned-restaurant to enjoy his Bahn Mi sandwich creations. #alongwithhiswifeandkid #andiguanatoo #andgrandpa #visforvietnam #lovelypeople #deliciousfood
One of the ancient Champa wells from which rumors say is the only way to make the lye water for the local noodle dish Cao Lau. The woman getting up will try to sell us her seamstress skills. #visforvietnam #caolầu #noshirtsfornow
We are loving staying on a small island in Hoi An! The isle is basically one big street market at night, and then peaceful during the day. #visforvietnam #streetmarkets #vietnameseboat
This pic from our room’s balcony: awesome street market right outside with amazing, cheap food! #visforvietnam #bahnmisandwich #bananapancakes #springrolls #vietnamesethinpizza Time to make @jonjpolk jealous😜
Vietnam visa craziness! Boys and I in one line while Shannon gets whisked away to process her last second visa application! All went well in the end. #visforvietnam #sketchyvisaprocess
