Back on the road again soon.

Hola mis amigos,


Well, this blog is long overdue. 

Our last blog was posted before we went on our journey to the Philippines and China. What can I say? It was exciting, tiring, hot and humid, cold and windy; those are a few terms to describe our trip. But I wouldn't take it back for anything.

The main reason we went on this trip was to revisit the homeland of our sister-in-law. The second reason was to experience a one of a kind celebration-SINULOG-and experience it we did. I cannot describe the crowds, the noise, the colour, the devotion, the friendliness of this experience.


Home to the world's smallest monkeys

As you can see they are very small, but so cuddly looking

Those paws really help them cling to almost anything

Our mode of transportation on the Loboc river lunch cruise.

The Chocolate Hills, a natural phenomenon on Bohol


These are some photos of our trip to Letitica Resort and to the island of Bohol (in no apparent order, lol). 

main mode of transportation for 17 family members when we went on our first visit to Leticia RV resort

ok so it's spelled wrong

little jeepney taking family to the waterfalls from Leticia Resort

A very well behaved, quiet class from the school across the street from the resort
Mike and Mike went to the high school and found these girls practising a folk dance

The port on the island of Bohol
Our resort on Bohol, very nice, great sandy beach; little fishes there that will clean your feet, yummy.



Mike's order of a hamburger and fries; fries? yes philippino sized, lol.



These fellows are making machetes by hand.  Lots of labour involved

I hope you have enjoyed these little bits of the Philippines.  I have more but I'm still trying to resize them so that they are easy for you to click on and see them in a larger view.  I''ll get more out tomorrow, I promise.

I started this blog before we left Lo de Marcos and today is March 26 and we are in Ehrenberg, AZ, enjoying a few days here before moving on to Pahrump for a few more days.
