An afternoon quickly slips into evening. The families packed up their picnic baskets hours ago and the teenagers are slowing drifting home as well. Now only Jarrod and I are left at this perfect oasis of fresh green pools and staggered waterfalls carving a path through the smooth rock and mossy vegetation.

Ducking underwater and behind the rock wall there is a small cave hidden behind the upper falls. Rubbing shoulders with the grooved, wet rock we hid away peeking out through a basketball sized hole at the water tumbling down in front of us.

On the lower set of falls there is a slight cliff-hang where you can find shelter and solace behind a screen of white water. It’s a romantic place to pause… and kiss. The lower falls are also a perfect place to jump into the depths of green. Which we did over and over and over and over.

Fun at the Waterfalls.

Jarrod & Carol
The fun has ended. We've arrived back home and our bodies are in withdrawal from lack of rice, curry and noodle soup. Read on (or at least look at the pictures), we've got tales of Asia from our year on the road. ... full info

Honey you look really thin in that photo. I hope you are eating enough. My brother lost loads of weight when in Asia because he didnt like the food. The waterfall sounds romantic.

Tan=Ugly
the Philippines, as with most of asia, having a tan isn't ideal. They're after white skin and all the lotions (including deoderant) has skin whitening agents in them. You always want what you don't have!

Palms in the Shadows
The photo "Palms in the Shadows" was the "welcome photo" when I logged in. It's so beautifully serene -- it's exactly where I want to be right now! Then I realize, it's in my home country! Wow!
