random Philippines shots...

Very serious looking traffic cop...

can someone please tell me why, after I have slept in it, my hotel bed always looks like it was dropped from a helicopter?

there was a typhoon off the coast, so all the billboards were folded up so that they would not collapse on the buildings and looking something like my hotel bed.....

I do have to admit, the country side was pretty.....

the hill of trudgery.....

I cannot count the number of times we walked up this hill in the rain (or swimming through our own sweat!) to set something up or check out how it went after we tested it....

and purtly lil ol me in my nice blue hard hat.... playing with dangerous toys in the mud....

Gas safety 101

first lesson... don't do either of these things...

In the Philippines...

and it has been raining like you would not believe.
I have been doing all sorts of testing involving trudging up a hill... setting up an explosion and trudging back down... all in the rain....

been fun!
