No Reservations

I made it to the Philippines after some eventful in-flight GI disturbances.  Filda's brother was kind to pick me up from the airport and drive me to Cabangan and the great beachfront room they had arranged.

Sunday I was invited to lunch by the mayor and some council members at a local's house.  It was something out of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations".  The table was full and more dishes of food kept appearing every few minutes - squid cooked three ways, rice, fresh fish stew, raw fish, dry fish, red mango with a salty shrimp dip (sort of like Filipino chips and salsa).  Pretty amazing introduction to the Philippines.
