Thieves

When I wasn't at the beach for my mini-break, I was in the probinsiya (the country) at Ate Jorlyn's house... I tried to steal a young coconut from their backyard, but was caught in the act.

Some of the other fun activites I did in Dumaguit included pumping water from the well, washing my clothes in a bucket, driving the 80's stick shift van around town (only the second time I've ever driven one AND the first time I've driven in 8 months), stepping in piggy poo, enjoying the sea breeze, eating all sorts of shell fish, drinking tuba (fermented coconut sap...I didn't like it), and attending the local late night sayawan (dance), never complete without some carnies (see above).
