Home Stretch

I spent Spring break in Palawan. Stayed  a few km from town, in Corong Corong.
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.
