Pic o' the Day #9


This is the day I caught my first fish. It was a powerful adversary. We fought for what seemed like hours. Some said, "You're gonna need a bigger boat." But I finally managed to land this sea monster from before the dawn of time.

Then the folks at the restaurant cooked it up with the two fish that Edward caught. Yum!

Starla (smiling at you in the picture) and her buddy, Edward (off-screen preparing for battle) invited Lisa and I to go to 安县 (An Xian) for a day of fishing. It was really a lot of fun. I did learn that fish won't come around if you are talking about catching them. You have to be very, very quiet. I mean, Elmer Fudd quiet.
