First day I walked to town and along the beach.
The next day, I took the banka trip, Tour C. Saw some lovely spots and enjoyed the snorkeling immensely. I have an underwater camera but without my glasses, I don't see well. The magnification of the water helps but not as much as I would like. I love the "other worldliness" of the sea. I drifted with my camera and just snapped a bunch of shots. Got a sunburned back, but it was worth it. Here is a slide show of my underwater stroll. Click to enlarge and play.
Enjoy.
I also got food poisoning, probably on that boat. The rest of the trip was spent mostly in my air conditioned room.
Two months to go!
I've accomplished what I came here for, mostly. I have helped build a vibrant library. CIS library is in much better shaped than when I arrived. I have explored some of Asia, see previous posts!
I have learned a lot, as usual a lot about myself, about history, about people. I have saved some money. So glad I came here, so ready to go home.
What a lovely post! I especially like the underwater stroll, and the one you posted under Home Stretch shows an interesting play of shadow and light from what is above it.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to celebrating with you.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda - so nice to hear from you again. I've been counting down the weeks of your return also. It sounds like your time in Phillipines was a grand success. Good for you. Your underwater stroll must have been spectacular. I look forward to seeing you.
