Me...at the river after a 4 km trek through the hill tribe villiages outside of Sapa, Vietnam.

More Red Thai women....Thai doesn't mean they're from Thailand....
Another assortment of "food" at the market in Sapa, Vietnam....heart and kidneys!!
"The Amazing Cave" Som Sot Cave (in Vietnamese)....in Halong Bay. MASSIVE CAVE!!!!
More "foods" available...notice the legs, feet, beaks, heads, waddles, etc....
Also at the market....you can make up your own story here!!
Need I describe? In the "Amazing Cave".....I think our guide said this was a finger....for some reason I was the only one who would outright say "no it's not, it's a penis...." of course it's mentioned in the guidebook as one of the "must-see" features of the cave!! This cave is so large & full of geologic features that one woman I met from Europe said "it looks fake, it's like being at Disney World or in a Star Wars film".

Even though we left the house almost a month ago, I still feel the need to show where I was lucky enough to live during October 2006. This is the hallway, stairs leading to the second floor...I'm modeling the dress that I had tailor made by the ladies on staff!
This is the billiard room, also where we had our pedicures done!
The formal dining room where we ate our nightly dinners.
The living room, the wooden doors behind the red chair lead to the back yard/swimming pool.
The massive kitchen, notice the granite floors & countertops.
