No, I didn’t spell “symbolic” wrong. Today’s Hash is an outstation run at the cove named Sampaloc. The cove is only accessible by boat, and it takes over an hour to get there. We’ll be departing from Baloy Beach at 0830 this morning, with a scheduled return at 5-ish. So, I’ve got a long day of Hashing/Drinking (but I repeat myself) ahead of me. Which means it is now or never for today’s post. So, let’s get to it.
This will be my fourth time visiting the scenic cove, and I’m looking forward to it. Here’s the post from my first trip in 2019, and it is chock full of photos if you want to see what I’m in for today. My return visit the following year resulted in some insanity amongst some of my fellow travelers, something I hope I’ll never experience again. I guess I’ll find out soon enough.
Not a lot to report about my yesterday. We did an abbreviated candy walk (still out of chocolate) and then got on with our modified Sunday routines. One modification was the lack of a Hideaway feeding. I’ve decided not to continue that event going forward. My charity budget can be better spent on other projects.
So, next up was our Sunday dinner at John’s place. I’m happy to report that they were open, although the menu options were limited. No birria, no pulled pork.
I’m not sure what the future holds for John’s place, but it’s not looking good from my perspective.
And that’s all there was to Sunday.
From the May 2016 LTG archives is this post about a memorable weekend in Seoul. Lots of photos of friends and places that will always hold a special place in my heart.
Today’s YouTube video features Sampaloc Cove. See for yourself.
Some quick humor before I go:
Gotta run. Having a trike pick us up, along with all the stuff we’re bringing, to take us to Treasure Island, where we’ll be catching our boat. At least I’ll have something of interest to post tomorrow.
Swan opted for the chow mien…
Spot the error!
Have a great time out at Sampaloc.
Good move cutting off those Hideaway pigs, mate – you already fattened them up enough.
If you want to put your charity budget to a truly worthwhile cause, perhaps you could instead buy them gym memberships!
(By the way what is this “Site Redirect” BS I keep getting when I open your blog…..tries to send me to some online gambling site…..It’s been doing it a few times in past month. I am using a new phone too, so can’t even blame existing malware or cookies on my end)
Greg, I doubt a once-a-week feeding contributed much to the obesity outbreak. It’s just time to do something else.
Thanks for the head-up on the site redirect issue. I’ll inform my blog host of the problem and hopefully they can resolve it.
Kevin, sorry, I can’t find the error. I mean, chose might be better wording than opted, but that doesn’t make opted wrong. Oh, wait. Maybe I didn’t need the “the.” Swan opted for chow mien. Is that it?
How do you spell “chow mein”?
Kevin, Doh! Jesus, that should have been obvious. I could have sworn that spellchecker thing underlined “mein” when I wrote it that way. Yep, it just did it again. My bad for believing I was wrong.
