Island Hopping and diving.

It is Chinese New Year here, well I guess everywhere but it is a holiday here and we are all 6 going island hopping today with some clam diving.   As always I am graciously looking forward to it.  Ready to get some sun and see some amazing things.   This trip has been absolutely amazing.  I honestly do not want to even think about leaving this island, unless a typhoon hits, lol.   Regardless of the economic situation here, it is paradise.  I do not have a lot to compare it to but, if you have a passport you should take flight to Philippine  island of Galera.   We have adjusted very nicely to island time and pretty much h become sponges and absorbed all the energy of peace and happiness here.  I know I have found new respects and new faith as well as humbled from within.

Last night we all had dinner at bamboo house and it is basically a house on the beach which is primarily all bamboo.  As a family, we have all been eating together, what feels like nonstop, having fresh coconut juice and mixed fruit right out of the peel/husk.  I have gained damn near 20 lbs as of now and i can totally feel it. Amazing.  After dinner we took a walk on the beach, (about 9:30 pm)  and sat in the sand and looked at stars, and told stories and jokes, can I just say that we laughed our buts off. 

There is a great sense of peace and serenity here that is so powerful it can almost make your stress melt away, I wish I could bottle that up and use it for when i am driving on the 405 in L.A..    we are here several more day before heading back to Barabbas and Manila, I am excited for my little day trip to Makati, I have read and seen so much about its metropolis that I can't wait to see the buildings and architecture. 

Attached are two pics, one is my view at 5 am sitting on the beach and second is the bamboo house which we recommend for anyone to stay and to have dinner. 

Peace and hair grease y'all!
