Island Life: A Picture Diary

My soundtrack - wind chimes and waves.
On Sunday, I will have lived on Mindoro Island in the Philippines for three weeks. All I can say is yes. Yes to shades of blue sea and sky, boat trips and dinner with friends, sandy toes, late-night barbecue, floating bars, lightening that echoes over water and bursts through rain-filled clouds, gorgeous waterfalls and motorbike rides through the mountains. 

One thing's for sure - I've never had a more active social calendar in all my life. There's always something going on, whether it's a beach party or evening get together. As an introvert, I think I've done a good job getting my socializing on :P

Here's a little slice of my life over the last few weeks.

Our friend bought this boat on a whim. A few days ago we took it for a spin around the island to a beach. Today it was our transportation to a friend's lunch party.

I found this beauty on the beach, and there are plenty of others I can't wait to collect. I have no idea what kind of rock/crystal it is, but some seem to think quartz. If you have an idea, let me know!

Puerto Galera is the larger town (although still pretty small) outside of Dulangan. This is up the mountain from where we live at Tamaraw Falls.

A pool that cascades down the mountain at Tamaraw Falls. I prefer the ocean water; it's warmer :)

Jason and I on the top deck of the floating bar in Sabang. Sabang is known for its night life, which is pretty much 24/7. Puerto Galera shuts down at about 9 pm, so those who want bars and clubs till the wee hours travel here.

Snorkeling for the first time in my life. I'm somewhat afraid of the water, so this was a huge step. Turns out, it's easy peasy.
