For two (way-too-short) weeks in October, I had a chance to visit the homeland of my ancestors. The Eighth Wonder of the World left me dark, a few pounds skinner, and wishing I had bug spray.
I developed an appreciation for hot running water, paved roads, and public social services.
My journey to find hidden beauty took me through the buildings, cemeterys, food, museums, rice terraces, streets, and people of the sublime country that is the Philippines.

Mabuhay! Thanks for coming and commenting on our Türkiye book! I'm glad you liked it. We had fun putting it together. I like your Philippines book too! We finished our Korea travelogue and are now working on our third installment (Rome) and I'll be revisiting your work for more ideas!
I especially like the thematic organization of your book and the many examples of creative gradients and feathering.
Good luck and I look forward to *your* next installments!

Enjoyed teh book, well put together. There's a typo on your opening page: "skinner" should be skinnier. Liked it nonetheless.
