We went on a VFV sponsored family excursion to a beach called Marabut on the neighboring island of Samar. To get there we had to cross over the famed San Juanico Bridge, the longest (2km) bridge in the Philippines. This photo was taken just after crossing the center of the bridge on the way to Samar. They consciously made the bridge twist like an "L" for "Leyte" then "S" for "Samar".
Once we arrived on the tropical beach we jumped onto a "floating cottage", and we were pulled out about 50 yards out to the middle of the calm clear teal blue sea.
We spent the day like good Filipinos, eating and eating and eating some more... oh yeah and drinking tuba and...
...snorkeling and swimminghere is Kenneth getting used to this whole swimming thing...
Laura helping out.
Nanay Pipai brought her guitar and songbook
