Swimmers take a respite on the pontoon.
Oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. It’s monotonous, I know, but I don’t mind it. At least I’ll have really low cholesterol plus its really cheap. At 9 AM, I met up with Grace at the El Galleon bar to give her a physics exam. She did fine on it as there were no major problems she had.
Going out for a dive at Asia Divers.
Someone mentioned that a typhoon was approaching us and may hit Puerto Galera. I’ve never experienced a typhoon before and so was a little excited to be in one. It happened to start raining right before I wanted to go home and cook lunch. I was a little disappointed it rained because I wanted save money by cooking lunch. I had to settle for an over priced lunch at the old El Galleon.
Maziar cleans his new mask with toothpaste.
Maziar bought a new mask and practiced his Divemaster skills in the pool by himself.
Gecko poop.
Because of the rain, I ended up hanging out at El Galleon bar pretty much all day. The weather was very humid and sticky and was uncomfortable to work in. It’s quite boring to be here in the rain because there’s nothing really to do. I ended up journaling all day which was good because I needed to catch up. After about four journal entries though I start getting bored. Maybe it’s just being in front of the computer that long. While journaling, a gecko pooped on my laptop screen. Probably a sign I should do something else.
A tiny praying mantis at the Point bar.
In the evening, I went to Point bar. At the bar, a tiny praying mantis walked between me and my beer. It was one of the coolest things I’ve seen here that wasn’t underwater—it was the highlight of my day. I had it walk on my hand, then on a bartender’s hand, then back on my hand. I looked for an insect to catch to feed it but couldn’t find one. It ran so much I couldn’t keep it on my hand so I let it run on the bar. I followed it running down the bar, it jumped on some straws, and then I was startled to see it eaten by a gecko. That’s life.
