Camotes Island

We arrived with Andrey and Jen at Camotes Island on Friday, Dec. 26th. The ferry ride was just over two hours and uneventful. However, there was some unusual freight (at least to us). There were roosters who crowed from time to time. Before we started on our trip people were busily carrying on ceramic tiles, eggs.
As seen in the picture below, it was an interesting arrival and welcome that we received.

These boys who were very happy to pose were marketing some beautiful fish.

Camotes Island is known for its caves. A few were accessible from the beach where we spent the day yesterday.

We rented grass topped cabanas for the day. Relaxed. Read--I am reading the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Relin. Lou just completed the book, Just Courage, by Gary Haugen. Both of these books are stimulating and inspiring. We also spent time strolling on the beach, picking up a few unique seashells, checking out a few caves, swimming. Our view of the beach from the semi opened dining room at the resort at which we were staying--Santiago Bay Resort.

Seeing your photos reminded me on how beautiful the island is, made me fell all nostalgic and reminiscing that lovely time I had. Thank you for this blog!
