It's Friday morning and I awakened once again at the Duchess Pension in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Shortly Craig and I will head out for breakfast at Bruno's, pick up a couple of bio sand filters at PCC and head on down the road to Brooke's point. (OOps the power just went off so lost internet connectivity and aircon).
Guess I better get this post published now that it's up again. Maybe can add some more later.
For 5 years (Aug 2006 through May 2011) Dea taught at Brent International School Manila. We are now both retired and have returned to our home in Colorado. Though this blog is somewhat neglected now, it still serves as a documentation of our time in the Philippines with much information about Biosand filters and family stuff. Please enjoy and comment.

Arrived Palawan
Zest Airways flight from Manila to Puerto Princesa arrived without incident though I'll have to admit I did not read the 'How to' document provided with directions on operating the emergency exit which I was in charge of on this scantily filled flight. My bad!
And there's a rumor I did have an electronic device running during the flight that provided accurate positional information along with speed and direction information (which I find entertaining). It also alerted me to various islands that we passed over as we traversed the South China Sea.
Once again we are spending the night in the Duchess Pension, ate dinner at Bruno's and picked up some foodstuffs for the ten day experience. Tomorrow we'll make a few stops one of which is to pick up 5 BioSand filters before heading for Brooke's Point about a 4 1/2 hour ride south.
