Animal Bite Clinic

One of the first things that stood out to me when we were traveling around by van in PI is the number of Animal Bite Clinics in every province. I was pretty sure that I was going to get to visit one of those clinics because of the many cats and dogs that I befriended while in Laguna, Ilag, Caohagan, Bohol...

On my list of things to try while in PI were sisig, balut (if the opportune opportunity arose, and it did) and pancit (because I needed to be shown proper techniques). I ate many, many other Filipino foods. Pictures of some of the food I ate while in PI below in no particular order.

Chocolate Hills of Bohol

We almost missed this, the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Chocolate Hills (Mga Tsokolateng Burol, or Mga Burol na Tsokolate) because we were too tired from exploring Bohol. Wah! We decided last minute to go for it and I am so glad we did. We made it there in time to trek the 214 steps to enjoy the panoramic views.

The Chocolate Hills are a geological formation in the Philippine province of Bohol made up of over 1,200 cone-shaped karst hills spread over an area of more than 50 square kilometers (20 sq mi). They are covered in green grass that turns a chocolate-brown during the dry season, making them look like chocolate hills. They are recognized as the Philippines’ 3rd National Geological Monument featured on the PHP200 bill.
