Grace Like the Underground River

Simply nostalgic!
Streams of memoirs flooded me! I can’t wait for the next Palawan visit! It’s been almost a decade since I first visited there, December 2004! 😀

Have you been to Ugong Rock Cave? 🙂 It’s a must visit cave too!

We flew to Palawan that summer with my eldest brother and nephew.
