How a Tropical Storm Didn't Ruin My Beach Vacation
... We ended up at a local surf bar and had a great time drinking and chatting the night away with Filipino surfing champions. Our last day in San Juan, Allie was determined to learn how to surf. I was going to head out with her, but there were no waves and I ...
The road not traveled...by a Kia
So I look at the map and decide that instead of retracing our steps and going back through Baguio it might be nice to head west and drive south along the coast to 100 Islands, our next destination. According to the map that road would be like the ones we ...
Still No Where Else to Be
... to it, particularly in the restaurant, which also serves local-made German food. I had my share of eating. I had to head back into San Fernando for errands (to get cash and use the internet, to be precise). Once I wanted to only go as far as San ...
No Where Else to Be
... I just enjoyed the air conditioning, and by the end of the ride the heat rash around my elbows was gone. Getting into San Fernando La Union by six o'clock made trying to find a resort nearby a bit too much to ask with darkness fast approaching. My ...
The Sunny South China Sea
Hello, It's 6:30 in the morning on Friday in the Philippines. Don't ask me what time my circadian brain thinks it is... The weather here is phenomenal. It's 29 degrees in the morning with breezes blowing in off the south China Sea. ...
Typhoon magnet
... were nice and i enjoyed the surf. It's back to the usual dribble this morning though, so I thought I better get a jeepney into San Fernando and check out the progress of the new Typhoon forming in the pacific. True to form it's supposed to intensify and ...
The Beach
We took the family to the beach today and we all had a lot of fun. One of the great things about the Philippines is that you are allowed to cook out on the beach, but we didn't. Instead, we rented a cottage and did our cook out there because not everyone ...
Car-Rille Terrace
Mama, Juju, Auntie Mary and I spent 3 days and 2 nights at Car-Rille Terrace. Auntie Pan still manages to keep the place running with the help of paid staff. I remember the Car-Rille of years past. We used to vacation here almost every summer ...
Tagudin Old Cemetary

Saint Augustine Parish Church

Hangover 1
I'm drunk and desperate to go to bed. The moment I close my room door behind me - ready to pass out - I discover that I ran out of water bottles. "Shit", is my only reply at this stage. Water would be quite handy at the moment. However, I quickly dismiss ...
8 relaxing days!
After 27 hours of travel by plane and rental van, we arrived in Tagudin, Il Locos Sur, Philippines. The longest and roughest leg of our trip was extra challenging with a seven month old ...
Spent the day visiting with Gabe's family
On New Year's Eve, we visited with two of Shirynne's great-aunts. Later that night we lit off a bunch of fireworks we bought on the side of the road. For a little less than $8 we got about 50 large bottle rockets, 20 roman candles, a ...
DU BUS, DU BUS...

La Union and more
... planned a trip to the beach. We headed up to La Union, an area about six hours north of Manila. La Union is the surf capital of the Philippines, so it was a very laid back area with lots of beaches and resorts. It was nice to hang out ...
Everyday at the beach is a great day!
We tried to make it to the beach everyday to swim in the China Sea. The sand was warm, the ocean was cool. Refreshing on an 85 degree January day. It is pretty humid here so the water feels ...
Hoops is HUGE in the Philippines!
Me and Train thought it would be cool to showcase our superior baller status for some of the locals. Since we are from the land of basketball, they thought it would be fair for the two of us to play three of them. Unfortunately it didn't work ...
The Market
We went to the market a few days to pick up fresh fruit and fish for dinner. To my joy and suprise, Train and I found gambling 8000 miles from Vegas. Here's the game: 36 squares with one letter A-F in each square. Each ...
Walk to the beach
The first time we went to the beach, we drove. On this day I chose to walk and was suprised to find that I got a completely different view of the ...

... prolixe, sur la bonne voie parait-il... Je prends un jeepney pour la premiere fois, pour aller a Bauang, 4 km au sud de san Fernando ou il y a possibilite de se baigner. Les jeepneyx sont un autre moyen de transport particulier a l archipel. Ce sont ...
Catch a Wave
I got washed - my shoulders are sore, my eyes red, my neck is stiff, my belly is chafed and I've swallowed at least 500mills of ocean water - but who gives a fuck, I'm over the moon :-) I've spend the last 60 minutes on a surfboard and it was the first ...
