All over the map

This was a busy travel week.  I started off the week in Tacloban for some more Typhoon Haiyan-related work, then headed down to Zamboanga and Basilan in Mindanao for water projects, followed by a dive trip over the weekend.

Never get tired of visiting MacArthur at the Leyte Landing Memorial in Palo, Leyte








Zamboanga - visiting the relocation housing from the Zamboanga siege






Boating across the Basilan strait en route to Basilan from Zamboanga City

Then it was back down to Sabang for the weekend where we had amazing weather and dive conditions for my 50th dive

Vietnam: Mekong and Ho Chi Minh City

After a quick week of work following the Siem Reap trip, I headed back over to the mainland, but this time to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong delta to meet up with my roommate from college.  We spent a couple days exploring the delta on various boats and bikes and the rest of the time eating our way through HCMC.






































And then of course in Vietnam, it is all about the food.
