Trip to Tuguegarao

As I plod along with language study day after day, it can often seem like there's not much to write home about. Typically, either nothing noteworthy happens... or everything happens all at once, and then I have no time for writing about it! 

I had thought that uploading some pictures from time to time would be a good, less time-consuming alternative... but then my camera died. :-( 

Well, finally, after about nine camera-less months, I bought a new camera - so now it's time to revive this poor, neglected blog of mine!

I spent most of this past week up in Tuguegarao (Northern Luzon), accompanied, of course, by my new camera, so here are a few pictures from my trip...

My missionary friends in Tuguegarao took me around to all their favourite places

This Aussie girl sure enjoyed the open spaces!

We spent one morning at a beautiful river (kind of) nearby. This was our swimming spot.

After driving to the river, we took this boat to our swimming spot.

The water turned different shades of blue or green in different places. It was incredibly clear.

I found the blue sections particularly fascinating. (If anyone knows why the water is this colour, I'd love to hear an explanation!)

There were lots of cool roots along the river banks.
