From the Philippines

Right now I am sitting in an Internet Cafe in the town of Naval on the island of Biliran.  It is a 15ish minute from here to Almeria where I am staying with my friend and teacher.  Things have been amazing so far.  The weather has been overcast, but very warm.  The house sits surrounded by jungle, and there are a number of other houses scattered about.  Chickens roam the streets as well as dogs, cats, and the occasional goat.

Yesterday we went out on a boat and visited a few different islands.  We went snorkeling and there we found some shellfish and oysters.  We sat on a beautiful beach as we ate raw oysters that could not have been any fresher.  After lunch we headed to another island where we took the boat into a bat cave.

Spectacular.

I have a few more adventures lined up, such as climbing the mountain and checking out one of the island's beautiful waterfalls.

I will give you the full account, including movies and photos, when I return.

See you soon...
