9/18/2006 (Mon) - We had a hearty breakfast on the boat before breaking out into small groups that went on small boats up the Sheng Nong Stream - which is rated as one of the Unesco world treasures...

Lots of greens - the Sheng Nong area is supposedly one of the well known areas in China producing Chinese herbal medicines....	Rowing on the canoe	2 second clip of canoe rowing with our friendly tour guide professing how much she 'lover he job!' A note about this very amazing and likeable guide - she supposedly just learned English half a year ago - as part of the process of applying and getting this job! It's amazing what a lot of people have accomplished in so short a span of time. Makes me feel somewhat inadequate and even a little ashamed....	Trekkers pulling...
