Siargao #1

The last few days have been so fun and busy. We switched rooms to one next door to Renaldo's BBQ. It is in General Luna and we are walking distance from town and all of the good food. That afternoon the family put on a special lunch towelcome us .
I mentioned an English fellow before. He has a girlfriend from the Island who is my age named Charlotte. We have gotten along really well and have all hung out the last few days. We attended a special lunch just out of town. It is put on twice a week by a German man who has a cave exploration tour. He is a true treasure hunter and was once a five star chef. He lived on the coast of Florida for thirteen years or so diving for lost ships and treasure (just like in the movie Fools Gold). He has also traveled all over the world searching for gold and has never had as much success as he has in the Philippines. Before lunch we went to church. We were able to help with the small children! It was so much fun. The fun thing is that a couple of days ago while we were in town we were introduced to a guy named Leeno who we were talking to about fishing and surfing. Yesterday he invited us to go play volleyball. So we jumped on the back of Steve and Leeno's motorbikes (hobble-hobbles) and went to Leeno's place. As it turns out, the house isa cross the street from the Siargao YWAM base. Leeno and his brothers Bullong and Bunsai are all really awesome with great hearts. They know some of Jesse's friends (from his DTS Maui) like brothers. What a small world.... This afternoon we went with the brothers and Steve and Char, and joined a group of German travellers who had put up a tite-rope at a local resort. It seems like we have been so busy. There is always something going on. Maybe it is just the activity of settling in. We will see. This evening Jess and I got a hobble-hobble down to cloud nine from our new room and went for a surf. The waves are nice, but small (and crowded). The pictures will show it all. :O) Well we are having a great time so far. Love Jessica
