Marina - from the sea - by Nanay Jo at Isla Verde


Marina has been my good friend for 30 years and has been living overseas for some time.  She used  to bring me with her, to her hometown in Canas, Iloilo, when she returned to the Philippines for a holiday.   So now that we have built a small resort here in Isla Verde, she decided to come here to visit me.

She stayed here for 2 days before her flight back to Guam, and while she was here, she enjoyed an island walking tour.  She loves walking in the forest, crossing the bridges and getting up into the high land here in isla.  She also loves taking photos of the wilderness.

As we were walking, she noticed a lot and compared her place, Canas to Isla.  She was especially impressed with how quiet it is here.  Not many kids playing in the street, roads are clean, some house with fence,  are cleaned and tidied up.  People here seem proud of their island and their barangay.













One of her favourite experiences was enjoying Sinaing na Tulingan, and she brought 2 kilos of the cooked fish, and the local delicacies kalamay to take with her to Guam.


Marina also enjoyed soaking in our Japanese tub, the Ofuro.  It relaxes her and relieves any muscle aches and pains. The leaves of the citrus trees create a delicate aroma and she scrubbed them to her elbows, skin and legs.




After 2 days I went with her on an early trip to Tabangao.  She went back to Manila and will visit her husband, Don in hospital before she  returned to Guam last Sunday.

She will come back for another visit on her next holiday, and will stay for a longer time as she wanted to explore more of the hidden beauty of the island.
