| Short boatride we took on Li River to go biking among the rice paddies. |
 |
| Our bike deliverer |
 |
| I can't tell you how peaceful this bikeride was on one of the few, quiet, unpopulated roads in Yangshuo, nestled among the rice paddies and mountains |
 |

| Dried rice, up close and personal |
 |
| Griffin, a little less at ease with the sharp cormorant claws in his flesh |
 |
| Boom, without the cormorant on his arm |
 |
| Ken, completely at ease |
 |
| Me, FREAKIN OUT! |
 |
| Breathe, Colleen, breathe. |
 |
| Alice, learned to turn the pole which made the cormorant's wings go up, to balance itself. |
 |
| Cormorant fisherman, with plastic bamboo Li River boat. |
 |
| How he tied twine to the cormorant's neck to make it fish for him, with the twine just tight enough that the cormorant could not swallow the fish. |
 |
| Cormorant, a-fishin! |
 |
| Master fisherman. Let's be clear, though, he's nothin without that bird. The cape is used during rain, as a raincoat. |
 |
| Boatride home |
 |
| River view of the Yangshuo Impression water light show. It is packed all summer. HUGE crowds |
 |
| Boom, the apprentice captain |
 |
| God, we needed that beer. Fresh fish, that we chose and they grilled. Then we chased the kids on the grass, before riding our boat back across the river to our hotel. |
