We arrive in Puerto and loaded all of our bags into (and on top) of our host's SUV. We paid a visit to the governor's office to offer a gift and update about our project. He wasn't in, so it may have to await another day.
We explored Puerto a little bit (there didn't seem to be a whole lot there, but we did only see one street). We shopped a little in NCCC and then went for our first Palawan meal-pizza. Yes, we are travelling with Americans :) The pizza was good (or so I hear-the good diabetic skipped).
From Puerto it's a beautiful 2 hr drive up the coast to the hospital in Roxas. We saw many trikes, overloaded jeeps, rice fields and water buffalo as we drove to Palawan Baptist Hospital. We went for our first meal at a local Thai restaurant (yum) and came back to the sounds of the evening jungle and the site of a beautiful gekko on the porch ceiling. I like gekkos.
We've settled in here, but we are 2 hours from the nearest landline. It's only a 5 min drive to the nearest internet cafe however where we are now shacked in between 16 youths on facebook and network games.
