I’m thinking very philosophically (blog-speak for I haven’t even started to think about packing for a flight in a few hours) today. This time I’ll carry a notebook (paper) and take it out on it instead of the blog, but for now you’re stuck with a few fragments from the last couple weeks. I’d checked […]
Dinner was at Café Adriatico last night (visit #5 for Trevor and Kerensa, #2 for us), followed by a calamansi juice or two at Hobbit House, before a few stern words with a meter-shirking driver. This morning Trevor and Kerensa went back, and Nic and I walked around a bit. We saw the waterfront (such […]
Since last blogging we’ve been pretty consistently on the move. In one marathon afternoon to night we made it off the pretty unimpressive beach at Panglao Island, from Tagbilaran to Cebu to the airport to Manila to a bus terminal to Baguio at 6 in the morning.

We’ve been busy since Manila. We first went to Tagaytay, near the Taal volcano, and ended up staying (somehow) at Taal city, on the southwest of the lake, in a hotel which was re-opened just for us. We had a good night’s sleep, except for the rosary recited in Tagalog from the cathedral between 5:00 […]

After talking to someone in Manila I’ve decided to suck it up, lose the (sunk cost) refund fees and bail out of my trip this weekend. The power grid and roads are not in shape to handle me yet. Macau was interesting, I’ll have text and pictures up soonish.
Not much has been going on recently so I’ll shake it up: I think I’m going to daytrip to Macau tomorrow, as early as I can manage. The weather should be good. I don’t know if I’ll be able to blog or post photos between my return late Thursday and my escape to Manila on […]
