Home from Camotes




Beautiful Santiago Bay yesterday afternoon and early evening.










The trip home was somewhat more eventful. Winds were up and the waves were higher than our outgoing trip on Friday. The goings on were interesting and as always there are so many observations in the culture to keep one interested and distracted from possible worrisome circumstances. A goat was placed in the corner where the four of us were sitting. (as shown in the picture with Jen). It was also interesting to observe divers entering the water before we left from the island in order to loosen the anchor ropes. When we arrived in Danao the divers secured the anchors in order for the Santo Nino E. to dock safely.
From the ferry terminal we chose to catch a ride in a jeepney into Cebu City. This young man jumped in and rode with us for a short while. As you can see he is holding a rooster, on its way to the sports centre for a cock fight. This is a common activity in the Philippines.

Hi Marilyn and Lou,

Wow your posts are beautiful and so informative. What adventures you're having! Your photos are very lovely. What a festive party on Christmas Day with so many people celebrating at the church - very remarkable in view of our church culture here not having any Christmas Day worship services anymore.

Greetings to Andrey and Jen and may the close of the year find you all in continued great health, ready for new exciting adventures in the new year.

God bless you all, dear friends!
Love, Alice (Al)
