smiles of samal

The people of Samal Island were friendly and a little shy of us.

This vendor sold us a 10 peso bag of peanuts at the ferry launch.

The children were shy when they saw us coming, but smiling and waving as we went!

This scene is oh, so typical; A group of guys just hangin' out, enjoying being together.

I wish we could have pumped this boy's front tire just a little...

This lady was lovely.
She tried to talk with us, but our Visayan was so halting, she smiled and moved on.

Washing in the river.

'Lami kaayo!' I think she was worried I might try to take her ice cream after I said, 'very delicious!'.

We agreed that we were probably just as much a novelty to them as they were to us, since we didn't see too many other Western families exploring the island.
