Welcome to the Surf Camp! c 2007. I hadn't been able to go back to the island so I'm not sure if this signage still stands on the same spot to date.
Date: March 8-ish 2007-ishLocation: The Surf Camp, Calicoan Island, part of Guiuan,Eastern Samar.How did we end up there?: Management Research for the class of Prof. Dacuyan.Interviewed a couple of people from Guiuan LGU and The Surf Camp because of the growing popularity of Surfing in the area.We? So who were you with? - Groupmates: Edward, Orvisa, Julie Ann & Shella Mae

BORDZ! Just saying that really makes me laugh.
My memory of that trip is fairly sketchy. But I do remember it was nearly summer and very very hot.Church of the Immaculate Concepcion, Guiuan, Eastern Samar
I had to debate with myself if I would include this photo of mine. Why I uncharacteristically raised my arm here I don't actually remember. This photo would have been great if I wasn't in it. But anyway, for good fun and memories sake I'm posting it here.*LOL*That trip was more like making it by all by ourselves. We haggled with a landlady so that we would be able to stay at her house overnight for P200.00 (for all five of us, yes!). We roamed the streets of Guiuan at night and ate street food. We hitched a ride from Calicoan back to Guiuan because there were no schedules trips anymore. On a dump truck, yes. Oh! Father wouldn't have approved.
All in all, it was an amazing trip. Even if we went home with really dark skin colors, it was all worth it. Sadly I don't know where the other photos have ended up. The swells were huge. Calicoan has a really beautiful beach front and the sights inside the camp were downright amazing. I got holdof some nice seashells as souvenirs.
This was 2007 and would have been my first encounter with a white-sand beach. Who wears sneakers to the beach?
Throwback throwback. Bell-bottomed jeans may have gone out of style. But not these memories. :)
