I have only faint memories of this place; probably most of them are imagined based on the stories of Mama and Papa, and some actual memories lost due to several head injuries I had as a child (haha).
It seemed like a "twilight zone moment" for me, when I landed at the airport. Like coming full circle...When I was there, I felt that a part of me has gone home.
The simplicity and the easy smiles of the Butuan folks are just so close to that warmth and coziness which I associate with my hometown Iloilo.
Haay, senti me.
It was crazy crazy work work work from the time I landed until Saturday (working extra hours until the wee hours of the morning). My team felt that we needed the break and the treat after the hard work. Since nearby Surigao didn't seem so safe then, we voted unanimously for Camiguin. (Nothing beats spontaneity when you want to feel the natural high of adventure and fun).
So Camiguin it was! It was a short but very fun sidetrip, all in all. And the auditors in all of us felt we needed evidence to support this - PICTURES!
I plan to upload the team's pics to my shutterfly account (though since, it's still crazy busy now that I'm back in SGV, I think that may take a while).
In the meantime, I'd like to share samples of my pics from our Camiguin sidetrip.
Enjoy!

All in all, the entire sidetrip was so worth it :)
