My Navy Adventure

Land on each side, deep blue water beneath, we pushed through the islands called the Philippines. A day of traveling, weaving through the thousands of island left us moored at the pier of Olongapo.

Traveling the narrow roads to Manila and then beyond, my travel guide, my co-worker, my Filipino friend and I journeyed to his home. His backyard featured a huge coconut tree, across from a rice field, being plowed by a carabao. The coconut came down with a thud. A sharp knife opened it and we enjoyed fresh coconut.

My Navy adventure - One great memory.
