My short update

Sorry for lack of updates. I am not very patient w/ the internet cafes here. Connections are slow, and usually very crowded. We've taken hundreds of pictures and I've yet to post them. But, just to let you guys know, we are having a great time here! Currently Chelle and I are in Puerto Princesa, Palawan province. We've been here since Monday and will be leaving today, Friday. We were supposed to leave yesterday, but my cousin and childhood friend weren't able to book tickets back to Manila yesterday and my friend had to be back to work, so we traded seats. Puerto Princesa is beautiful and I can't wait to show pictures! We went to an underground river and have gone island hopping. This city is gorgeous... well taken care of, no trash anywhere. A local told me that they have been trained well because if they littered or even spit on the ground, they get fined 200 pesos, equivalent to $4! I would definitely come back here. It's nothing like Manila and it's been such an adventure. We even rented motor bikes yesterday! That was interesting trying to maneuver through traffic w/ all the motorcabs and jeeps who don't seem to grasp the concept of lanes. hehe.

Anyway, gotta pack for our 12PM check out. What Chelle and I are planning to do once we're back in Cali is to post blogs of our trip every 2 days w/ pictures. Please pray for CHelle and I's trip back to Manila this afternoon, as well as our trip to California back. I miss fish burritos!!! Hahaha.
