We took a lancha up the Libmanan River. There were ten of us at least. We rented the whole boat for a couple of hours. It took us to the farm.
The ride was beautiful.
Now we’re all going to the EcoVillage in Pili. It’s a beautiful, simple recreation complex. I’m gonna go swimming.
Later tonight we’re going to stop at the beach at Pasacao to watch the sunset and play in the Ocean until after dark.
Tomorrow we go back to Manila for a few days.
Then it’s on to Hong Kong… Manila… Chicago.

Quick birthday party note:
Lots of food. Dad took lots of pictures which seemed unusual to me.
He loved the attention… though he normally is more comfortable under the radar.

I keep waking up here thinking this is going to be the last carefree visit to the Philippines. That scares me too much.

Rick, I’m really enjoying your posts. Makes me wish I could go out there and spend time in my mother’s province of Tiaong, Quezon. Maybe someday soon…
Take care and enjoy your time with your family!
Thanks Marji.
My brother has been enjoying himself more than I imagined. It’s been a great trip.
