I've decided that there is way too much for me to try and distill the amount of fun we are having into a post every few days, apropo, in an internet cafe (which don't serve coffee as far as I can tell). This is the third internet cafe we tried (one the connection was down and the other was full).

I think Cady is summarizing the past few days, so I will say that the pensione(same as a hostel) we are at now has been great place to relax and do some crossword puzzles. Everywhere we have gone the people are friendly. They may tend to stare at me when Anna decides we should go into the local library, but do I belong there?
I don't think I could ever get used to people trying to sell me dried fish, but that is not really that bad. The experience of riding in a jeepney or multicab and just watching the beautiful country side fly by is something you just have to come and experience.

Anyway we have already done enough for a vacation and we are only half way done. This definitely makes me want to travel to more exotic locations, especially when friends are there to show you around. Too bad I couldn't go on the Cyprus trip too. Well maybe next time.

Tomorrow we are headed to the longest underground river in the world. After that we are headed up north to work on an organic farm, see the rice terraces and just look around a new island. After that it's a 14 hour flight and a week in Northern California. Hope everyone is enjoying the summer, especially anyone in Cyprus.

I like a me dry fiish! Were you talking about the kind that's very salty? I used to have them when I was little. They have them in very traditional Cantonese cuisine. They have a pungent smell, but when cooked right can bring out yummy flavor.
