Nice trip. It would improve the tabblo if cooments would not
be so difficult to read.

This is terrific photography, Myles. I wanted to pick a favourite, but I can't because there are so many gems here. The whole tabblo has to be a favourite, so that I can revisit it easily.

Myles, your photos are wonderful! You have a good eye and the ability to capture what you see with your camera. Great job!!

Wow, thanks for all your comments, Jeanine, Robert, Mike and Connie :)

I've had these photos for over a year now, and I thought I'd post them because... well, mainly because I was wishing for a holiday and since I couldn't have one yet, I revisited my favorite holiday instead! :)

Robert: I've changed the font color... didn't realize it was difficult to read til you posted a comment ;)

Thank you, Andre :)

Very nice and colorful images. My favorite is with the two boys in blue looking through the railing...oh, and reaching behind the clasped-hands sign--funny!

Kevin: The handshake pic is one of my favorite pics of me and my friend :) Though I realized just now that she and I have to go back for a second take because she was holding out the wrong hand! LOL!

Nat00ral: Yep, Batanes should be on your Must Visit List. It's on my Must Return To list :)

Joe???: Well I can tell this put a smile on your face and that instant little poem into your http://www.tabblo.com/bitty-static/images/ok_over.gifhead ;) Thank you :))

Oscar: Glad you like that one, I woke up extra early to take photos of the fishermen at sunrise... turns out I didn't get up early enough, and I was just lucky to catch that last boat leaving the dock!

Charles: Thank you :))

A great tabblo. Lovely colours and layout. My favorite is the big picture of the lighthouse
Chilla said at 1:44 a.m. on May 4, 2009:
Fabulous!! What a beautiful and interesting Tabblo. Your portrait of the old lady is really wonderful. It looks like a great place to take a camera!
Mrsfabulous said at 7:37 a.m. on May 4, 2009:
Thank you Ira, Lageho, and Chilla.

Just some info about the old lady.... Her name is Florestida Estrella, she's 80-plus, and she owns the oldest (and still standing) stone house in Batanes, built in 1887 -- it's called the House of Dakay and is one of the regular stops on the island tour. She welcomes everyone into her home. She's been featured in the Reader's Digest, and she will show you a copy if you ask her :)

Thanks again, everyone. I'm so glad I shared these photos with you.
