For Your Viewing Pleasure...

It's been a long time since I've posted any pictures so I wanted to give you a sampling of some I've taken recently. I will post more as soon as I can!

New friends: Jean, Sam and Ma'am Del (left to right) pose for a quick pic before dinner of Laing, rice and more rice! Jean and Ma'am Del are my co-teachers and housemates in Donsol

Two of my students at school -- oops! Forgot their names

One of my host family stray cats. We've got 12!

Another view of Mount Mayan volcano. Continues to amaze me!

Me and Ate Julie during a party for local teenagers back in Bucal

Me and little Colleen, my former host family's granddaughter

Here's me shucking a coconut!

From left to right, my training cluster at swearing-in, Kelly O'Brien (Pittsburgh), me, Kehl Mandt, (Arlington, Va.), Myles Liquigan, our teacher, and Mary Owen (Detroit).

Jules -- you look great in those photos! It sounds like you're getting in your grove and the kids dig you. Longer letter this weekend. Let me know what I can send your way.

XO, Geary & UB

About Me

Name: Julia
Location: Philippines

At the age of 38, I decided to step out of the rat race of New York, join the Peace Corps and board a plane for Manila. This blog is dedicated to my adventures in the Philippines for the next two years. Wish me luck. Picture of me at sunset in Cavite
