Pictures from the 8th Wonder of the World
Our last full day in Vietnam was Sunday, May 28, 2006. It was Memorial Day weekend and the running joke was to complain that we could have been at a BBQ in the back yard but instead had to be in this dump otherwise known as Ha Long Bay:
Erika jumps into Ha Long Bay from the roof of the junk.
Reese and I sit down to lunch inside the ship.
Best crab ever.
We toured a cave in one of the many islets.
The upper deck of the junk anchored next to an islet.
I took a portrait of everyone with Ha Long Bay in the background and Ashley got me back by snapping a shot of me with my camera. Goodbye, Viet Nam!

Thanks for reading and replying, Phil. In talking with my dad the other day he was saying how people like you and me do have a very unique perspective on the world because we're more able than others to see things outside a limited, mono-cultural point of view.
It's not easy, as I've recently discovered, to reconcile with that. I think you've had a lot more time to define yourself with your world culture identity whereas I feel like I'm making up for a lot of lost time spent defining myself as strictly American. Take, for example, how you and I are finally communicating honestly now that I've opened up to it. I really think you were one huge, sub-conscious example to me of the very thing I tried to suppress all those years. We should have been fast friends and instead I always tried to make it a competition.
Then again, that could just have been the stupidity of youth talking. =)
