This past Sunday we were taken to White Corals Beach Resort in Morong, a 45 minute drive south of Subic on the Bataan Peninsular by our friends Audrey, Bob, Kevin and Toby the dog. Their friends Maria and Svend were there with their kids and Maria’s mom. It was a fun day and I did some real beginner snorkeling. Took lots of photos. http://www.bataanwhitecorals.com/ is the web site for the resort. Bob and Audrey sent some of their photos; they have an underwater camera. I try to give them credit though I don’t know if Audrey, Bob or Kevin took the photo.
About half way there we saw a man walking his waterbuffalo.
Bob stopped the van, I jumped out and ran after them. They kindly stopped so I could take my photo. I made the mistake of shooting off the camera first and then trying to pat the buffalo which snorted in a less than inviting way. I made a second attempt, but her owner looked a bit wary so I just said thanks and went back to the van.
She (I guess) looks a bit wary and close up the horns look too scary to mess with. Probably gentle as a lamb and followed her owner with no hesitation.
It is very lovely countryside with a small population. It is becoming more of a tourist destination because of its beaches.
We were greeted by the site of Maria, her mom and kids
coming in from exploring the exposed coral reef.

The kids had found a star fish, but put it back into the water so not to kill it.
Lunch of traditional Filipino soup, rice, veggies and crispy pata which is a pork dish with the skins fried crispy. You just pull it from the bones and enjoy.
San Mig light and crispy pata remains.
Some for everyone. Toby, the dog’s father lived at the resort. A very sweet dog I wanted to take home.
Bob washing the salt water off Toby. Toby is a puppy that Audrey adopted on a previous visit here. Audrey or Kevin took this photo
This was the resort pool filled from the ocean so it is a salt water pool. Shared by B, A or K
The kids all really like Bob and Audrey and have a good time together.
Sunset! 
This is Agnes the youngest girl.
She and I went for a walk along the beach and collected so many shells I had to carry them in my hat.
