One of my sister's caretakers "Nanay" is a native of Moal Boal and has family there. She has this little boat and took little Natxo for a float. |
On our way to a dive. I caught a cold and wasn't able to dive, but the snorkeling was just as good. |

My sister and JJ getting ready for a dive. |
These large blue star fish are very common, but nonetheless very beautiful. |

This is probably the fieriest sunset I have ever seen. |
We took a side trip to a group of falls about an hour from Moal Boal. |

Local kids bathing in the stream. |

We had ropes that we could grab on to go from fall to fall. The water here was nice and cool. |
This was the gang at one of the rest sheds. This was our last adventure before we returned to Metro Manila. Tinton, my sister's oldest boy (seen here to the left in front of me) and I flew home, while the rest took the ferry back. |
