Fotos from the Falls

As promised, here are some photos of Pagsanjan Falls, courtesy of John on Saipan.

The water around the falls themselves was too deep for the banceros to wade through, so we stopped just a few meters shy of the falls. However, you could appreciate them from a nearby "rest area," or for a few pesos, walk under and behind the falls. Having been under waterfalls on Pohnpei, I elected to stay dry from the waist up. (Water in the boat had taken care of the waist down...)

Here's a shot just as we turned the bend from the calm, wide river to the narrow, rocky river. Yes, that's my bald spot. Yes, it's getting bigger. No, I didn't wear a hat, Mom.

And here we are at the "rest area" near the falls, complete with a life vest made for Filipino-sized tourists. I doubt it would have helped me float very much, but I paid the mandatory 50 pesos anyway.

We're heading to the Rizal Park neighborhood later today, so there will certainly be some photos up later in the week.
