Art 487: Vietnam Location Photograph, 3 credits;
We will be rising early to take a walk on the beach where the locals catch fish. Here is a fascinating insight into the local lifestyle. After breakfast, our guide will take us to photograph at the Cat Ba town and its market. After lunch, we'll board the 14:45 hydrofoil trip to Hai Phong where a car and driver will be waiting to return us to Hanoi for an overnight stay.

Finally on our way back to home base: our big duffels and computers. It's about time we got to upload our images, take a shower, and hopefully get some rest. I spent the one hour hydrofoil ride asleep, which was a signficant help. We are all zombies, just looking at things and taking it in, with very little thought. Tomorrow we have a day of touring in Hanoi and visiting museums.
Last night, the homestay situation got much easier. It's amazing how food and drink will lift a mood. It was also nice having Sara Beth to take over communicating to the family. Once we had some rice wine in us, everyone was pressy lossy goosy. About an hour before we went to bed, Rachel, Evan, Ange, Shannon, a few other and their families came in as a drunken whirlwind, yelling and taking shots.
I didn't get any shots of the family or the house; when James asked to photograph the man of t house, he shyly refused, so I figued it was best to leave the camera in the bag.
I'm hoping for an acutal crite sometime soon. I still wish we had more time to develop some ideas. We are just moving around too much for that to be possible. Although this trip has been amazing thus far, I still think that we are trying to cram in way too much.
PS- wow, the sun is very red-orange right now.
Looking back...
hahaha...class, crit? how funny.
