on the phone w/ an english translator to figure out how to get to our destination: a village of ethnic minorities, the "Li" people-original inhabitants of hainnan island.

typical daily sales after the boats have returned about dinner time.

just cool.








the apt we stayed in is the one on the left. 5th floor, except 4th floor is bad luck, so it's really 4th!









a typical "junk", close enough to swim to. right on the beach, not a harbor w/ docks or anything
