Leaving Sagada, the Long Haul to Baguio

Sagada Philippines

Just prior to leaving, I came across a small group of people, preparing food in a forested area near town, they were dismembering chickens.

Oh, What a Difference One Vowel Can Make!

After a short flight and a long bus ride, I arrived in Vigan, hot and dry, stepping off the bus I reached into my pocket for my Chapstick (probably laboratory tested on animals) and applied it to my parched lips. Wearing my leather flip flops, (made from genuine cowhide), I set off to find my […]

The flight seemed long, especially with a refueling stop in Guam, but I had time to read parts of the Nikon D3s manual, which by the way, is like slogging through Tolstoy’s War and Peace.   Sunrise on my arrival in Manila I’m here […]
