I am in Palawan (or WAS in Palawan, depending on the status of my internet connection). This is the first trip I have gone on since the whole Cebu debacle, and I have to admit, it's something I needed to do; get out of town on my own again. The last time I went out on my own was the trip back home from Cebu, and that is something I'd rather put behind me.
Anyway, Palawan is all sorts of awesome. The Underground River was really something. Words will fall short in trying to describe exactly how awesome it is. I say awesome not in the flippant, casual sense, but with full effect, insipring silent awe. It's amazing to think about what the earth has gone through to result in that. It makes everything EVERYTHING seem utterly insignificant. All things pale in comparison to how those caves were formed.
Snorkelling was fun as well. We had several hours of underwater time the other day, and it was worth every second. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the beauty of our country, and a little regret at not having done more of this in the past.
There wasn't much time to spend alone, however. I was hoping to be able to sit and read, maybe reflect a little about everything. Still, it is a fun trip, and one I don't regret taking in the least.
