almost paradise

see http://365project.org/summerfield/365-again/2014-01-25

this is the crudely-made 'cottage' that is comfortably nestled among the limestone rocks of one of the islets in coron, palawan.

palawan is definitely making me think of where i would want to spend my winters when i retire.
Me too!

Oh my goodness! Look at the beautiful water!! Might not be so bad for retirement, but the typhoons and sunamis might be a bit of a downer.

How did you set up the camera and then get back on the boat so quickly for a selfie?
January 29th, 2014  
That is amazing. I love the colors and the calmness. If I could just teleport myself there I'd be so happy.

@traceyhn - come on down! thank you.

@olivetreeann - believe it or not, typhoons have traditionally skipped this island province. and there have been no earthquakes here. but haiyan's scope was so huge for the first time the province, especially coron, was affected. it's so beautiful in here, i almost didn't want to leave. thank you, ann.

@bkbinthecity - thank you, brian.

@sianipops - sadly, the there are tourists who do not heed the warnings. i told our guide that what he should do when there are people who do not obey the rules and warnings, that he should say "i will not proceed with the tour if one of you does not behave properly or ignore the warnings." they can complain to his employer but that he should explain to the boss that the water, the lakes, the corals are the province's bread and butter and that he is doing his part to help preserve it. the koreans, apparently, are the worst in disregarding warnings like touching the corals or throwing garbage in the water. thank you, nia.

@redy4et - thank you, elizabeth.

@claireuk - really eh? thank you, my good friend claire.

@678tabby - most definitely! thank you, june.

@altadc - and it's part of our heritage! thank you, alta.

@dh - thank you, d.

@bobfoto - i love you! you just know how to make an old woman feel good. hahahaha! thank you, jason!

@trish_robinson - it would be a nice place to get teleported to. thank you, trish.
