Across the Central Luzon Plain

It's great to be riding!  Bryan and I spent 2 days riding to the edge of the mountains through the "rice bowl" of the Philippines.  Once you're out of the cities the riding is pleasant.  We've been leaving at sun-up to beat the heat for a few hours.  Here's a sense of it:

Many of the roads are on raised beds between the fields.

Our routing has been a bit problematic a couple of times, but always fun.

We came across this memorial shrine to the 31,000 Bataan survivors who died in a prison camp here.

Making coconut milk.

We're officially transients here!
