It’s Hash Monday, but since I’m a Hare, I have already made the trail. I’ll meet the group at the VFW starting point, offer guidance, and send them on their way.
I hope everyone enjoys the trail. Nothing all that new to see and not particularly challenging for most folks, but it’s still a pleasant hike.
The Hideaway feeding went well last night. I had several dishes from the Jewel restaurant delivered, and the girls devoured the feast in record time. My cornbread also seemed quite popular.
I had a few and bought a few, as usual. I got home and set my alarm for 12:30 in anticipation of my driver’s 1 a.m. arrival. I woke up a little after one to pee and had an “oh shit!” moment when I remembered where I was supposed to be. I’m not sure what happened, but my phone was lying on the floor, and the alarm had been turned off. Next time I will keep my phone out of arm’s reach.
Anyway, we arrived at the airport just as passengers were beginning to exit the terminal. We were loaded up in the car within ten minutes and headed home to Barretto.
I took Josh for a walk on Baloy Beach this morning and followed up with lunch at Sit-n-Bull.
That’s it for now. More about today, tomorrow.
I hope Josh enjoys his stay in the PI. I assume he’s going from there to Korea, or is he going back to the States to await the processing of his visa? I can no longer remember how long the processing takes; it’s been quite a few years. (I see that one website says processing takes 1-4 weeks.) Anyway, good luck to Josh. I’m sure he’ll be in good hands whenever he meets up with his bro (not that he’s not in good hands with you).
And good luck to your Hash victims as they do your trail!
Kev, Josh seems to be enjoying himself thus far. He has signed a contract to teach at a Hagwon in Jeju, so came here for the visa processing. He’s being told 10 days, so we’ll see. At least he likes his 500 pesos per night room!
He’s going to be spoiled by the 500 pesos a night price. Once he gets to Korea, it’s gonna be sticker shock.
If he’s moving to Jeju, I hope he gets used to the mercurial weather. Not sure what it’s like there in the winter, but a Korean friend tells me it’s quiet since it’s off-season for tourists. Jeju is famous for three things: rocks, wind, and women. From what I saw, summer is protracted there, and the harvest season comes late.
Plenty of hiking and biking to do on the island; no shortage of mountains. Bus system is easy to learn. Point him to my latest walk blog if he wants to see pics of the place. If he likes farmland, there’ll be plenty of that to see, with all of that awesome volcanic soil.
Yeah, that’s a good idea to give him a link to your Jeju walk blog. He’s really looking forward to the adventure.
