A bit of home

I've posted lots of pictures of the abject poverty, depression, and grief in the Philippines. And while this is true, the Philippines is a land of resiliency unlike anywhere I've been. In the face of great disaster, they still smile. The reality of poverty, there is still laughter. The rubbish of neglect, beauty.

And so I thought I'd put together a little slideshow to give you a glimpse of the poverty, but also the incredible beauty of the island nation. Sunsets, coconuts, smiles, ocean, and even Starbucks. :) The pictures are not mine, so the quality is not always the best, but I think you'll get the picture (no pun intended!).

Enjoy!
