The Philippines: The End of the Trip

After the boat trip it was more diving, more relaxing, more beach frolicking, and more mango shakes in town. One one of our last trips to town, Soren asked me to take this photo so he could remember that this small bangka was his favorite.

Jeepneys are ubiquitous whereever you go in the Philippines.

Since most of our transportation was by boat or airplane, we never got the chance to ride in one.

But that didn't stop us from marvelling at the elaborate paint jobs!

We liked wandering around town looking for ways for Soren to spend his peso coins...

And even in town, we never seemed to be far from someone's prize winning rooster.

The trip did finally come to an end though. This is the Coron airport. Not just our gate, but the entire Coron airport.

And here is our plane arriving for the first of many legs in our long journey home.

We stopped in South Korea again on the return journey. We actually spent an entire day running around Seoul. But would you believe the only photos I took were of the lunch?

It was an incredible lunch though (notice that from the first picture to the second all the quail eggs have disappeared - that is all Soren's doing!)

Here's Soren in the San Francisco airport as we wait for our final flight home. Thank heaven for video games!
