Tuesday In the Philippines

Tuesday we did some fun tourist things on Bohol.

Up with the sun again, you can't beat an early morning walk on the beach to a beautiful sunrise.


Breakfast with a beautiful view!

This was the path we walked to get to our room.
This is the Blood Compact Shrine. Filipino Chief Sikatuna and Legaspi from Spain back in the 1500's made a blood compact to not fight with each other.

Baclayon Church, this is the oldest catholic church in the Philippines.

Our first time in the confession box.

Chocolate Hills- There are 1,776 hills like this. They think that this used to be a coral reef under the ocean that has broken down and formed little domes.


The kids really wanted us to get a picture with a caribaw (water buffalo). It was kind of a nasty one, it was caked in mud, notice how Nels was trying not to get too close.

Nels and Ben waiting for our boat ride on the Loboc River.

This was hands down the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen.

So grateful that I live in America and don't have to wash clothes like this.

Along the river the filipino people performed some of their custom dances. This little boy was our favorite.

These are Tarsiers (the smallest monkey in the world). They have really big eyes, which will explain the next picture of me :).


We weren't supposed to hold them, but our tour guide asked if we could. So I got to hold the smallest monkey in the world. It was pretty cool.

Here's one with some genetic defects! LOL!

Ha! Love the monkey with genetic defects! It is so weird to see you without kids. I am sure you missed them, but it was probably nice to have such a great break!
Love to you!
