Non-Dolphin Cruise

We woke up very early this morning to set out for the "Dolphin Cruise." The weather the night before made us wonder how it would be out on the Philippine Sea. We climbed on the boat in Baclayon at 6 and headed south towards Panlican Island. It was VERY choppy and we didn't see any dolphins. Giving up, went to the island to rent snorkel gear. The sun came out and the water calmed down... just a bit for us to snorkel. It was BEAUTIFUL!!! We saw so many fish! At one point I looked to my left and saw hundreds of bright blue fish swimming near me. I looked to the right and there were hundreds there too! After a few hours, we headed back home. From here on out, Joshua has named this activity the "Snorkeling Cruise" as there will definitely be great snorkeling, but he can't promise the dolphins.



He drove home and showered, and headed right back out to Loboc Elementary. This is our craziest school. There are over 500 students here, and only 22 of us, 6 being under 10. We played games and did our dramas. We didn't do crafts at this school because we've learned from the past, it's just too hectic. In the middle of the games, I had to run back home to grab materials. I hopped on the ATV, drove the 2 blocks through town, few miles on paved road and a few more miles on the barrio road. I love driving the ATV through the barrio. It's a great upper body workout! After our time at Loboc, we were blessed to listen to the famous Loboc choir. They travel all around the world performing, representing the Philippines. They have even been to the White House!



We all were tired from an early morning so we hit the sack early this night.
