Maasin Pier by chiefstingy
My friend and woke up early to catch the ferry to Bohol after reading that it left at 8:00 AM from Maasin to Ubay (northern Bohol). We were waiting for the ticket office to open so we took some photos of the pier in the early morning. Later we found out the information I read was wrong. The ferry leaves at 7:30 PM. We got good photos of the pier though.

Leyte's Beautiful Palms by chiefstingy
On my way to Abuyog to a water spring the view was beautiful. This was a contradiction to the fact that I was told that Leyte was not worth visiting. It was quite the opposite. These colorful palm trees caught my attention.

Tuba Jug by chiefstingy
Tuba. Tuba is a coconut wine, equivalent to Mmoonshine in the USA. It is not usually found in lage cities but small villages instead. A lot of the local men spend most of thier day drinking tuba. It is cheap to make since there are so many coconuts around. This is a one of the jugs that was being consumed during the sit down with some random locals I came across on the beach.

Reaching For The Soccer Ball by chiefstingy
In Philippines as well as other countries, soccer is a different sport than the USA. Soccer is more like volleyball, but played with feet and a small ball. Usually played with a net, these kids on the beach of MacArthur were playing soccer without a net.
