Waiting for the van to the tour.
Apparently he was too sleepy to stand up for the picture.
Once I realized I wouldn't be taking pictures on the boat, I thought I had better get this shot to commemorate our tour!
I couldn't take pictures during the firefly tour because, as our guide explained, any light from the camera might confuse the fireflies (also, it would be pretty hard to focus!). The tour group split up among 4 boats with 8 people per boat and headed down the river in the dark. I will admit I was terrified the entire time. We were sailing past mangrove trees and all I could think about was that I had just read at the Singapore zoo about some horrible snakes that live in mangrove trees. Nevermind that I don't know what kind of snake it was, but that and Sarah's obsession that we might fall overboard was not reassuring! Anyway... the fireflies were really cool and the particularly liked Henry. They landed in his hair, on his eyebrow, on his life jacket, hovered in front of him & next to him, etc. We all enjoyed the experience--I just wish I had a photograph! The guide flashed his light in a certain pattern and the fireflies all flew over to the boats, then he flashed his light another way and they all flew back to the trees. It was really cool! It's too bad I'm such a dork and was scared the whole time!
