Slept for 5 hours straight.

I have finally slept for five hours straight, I can't say why but I can not sleep past 4a.m.  and finally could be adjusting.  Is this jet lag??? 

So the fishing and diving day was priceless.  The fish were small in the beginning  but as the day progressed we got a 15 lb blue fin tuna and another 10 lb'r of what I call the ugly fish.  I cannot say it in English or Tagalog.  The guides Manny and Freddy were incredible, they would try to take care of all the bait and unhooking  the fish but I was like "um, we fish in America,man"  they were thrilled to see we were not silly lazy Americans. 

So not far from where we were fishing we boated about five minutes from there and Manny said "sir", "you dive here and see the caves" I said OK, we geared up and oh holy cow.  This reef was like the size of a small town.  As you swim over it you could see a dark blue and once you are over it it would be a 10 to 30 foot cave.   It was a bit un_-nerving but I sucked it up and dove as deep as I could.  My God it was so beautiful and serene.   I caught a couple of crabs in the shell which my Tatay was like "van get me more get me more"  he loves the food here.

We went back to Kuyas  house and had sashimi, just cut right out of the fish, it was the best I ever had... 

I have loved every single minute so far and have truly loved seeing my boy Angelo with his family.  He has started speaking the language even better and it is just heart warming to see him light up when he sees places he remembers from his childhood...  would not have wanted to miss this for the world!
I love you Zambales, Philippines .........
