Fishing villages at Ha Long Bay



Now that it is Saturday the 13th, our visit to Ha Long Bay seems very distant, but since I've figured out how to import photos (thanks to Rusty's little gismo that allows me to plug the memory card into a USB port, and the availability of the computers in the business center) I want to share this image.





There are 10,000 people living in 12  floating villages like this  within the karst formations of Ha Long Bay that have been there for generations.  The fish they catch is stored live within the decking until buyers come to make their purchases.  As we cruised slowly among these labyrinthian rocks, we passed many of these floating villages.
