Happy Valentines Day from the Philippines
Happy Valentines Day to everyone back stateside. We had a great time here in Kalibo. We slept in, I got a pedicure (needed badly due to an ingrown nail) and then we spent the evening at this amazing restaurant near the beach where they catch your dinner in the local river and then cook it up and serve it to you. The fish was amazing! Here are some photos!
Waxing poetic…
Many of my female friends have told me…come to think of it all my male friends as well, that I have the ugliest back and shoulder hair on the planet. I never gave it much thought. Yeah, it’s unsightly, but I can’t reach my back and I didn’t want to go through the pain and cost of having it done. Fast forward to yesterday.
Kalibo – Halfway Point of Journey
Driving through the province hasn’t been all that different from driving through the urban areas of Manila. Everywhere you go the suffering of people who survive on next to nothing is very apparent.

40th Anniversary – Paco Park, Philippines

Balut, Sweat and Tears!
So far 2014 has become the year of firsts for me. First time getting a passport. First time traveling outside the country. First time going through customs, the first time setting foot on foreign soil, first time getting a mani-pedi, (clear polish if you were going to ask) And, first time eating balut.
