joke's on me

We spent the day at an island called Duka Bay. I was told that duka means sleepy and I can only think that they would use a name like this because it is a very relaxing - and beautiful - place.

It was Sonia's birthday and this is one of her favorite places. She grew up on an island so given a choice she will always spend the day by and in the water. This is her (on the left) -  along with another staff person. I managed to capture a sweet moment with a baby left behind at PDK by one of the street kids who decided life on the street was better. This little girl LOVES to swim!

Oh - back to the joke. As we left the island, Sonia (and Teresa) mentioned that we needed to stop at this place so I could see the giant bananas and pineapples. Apprently this little village was famous for the largest bananas and pineapples in the Philippines. I was excited - having enjoyed amazing fresh fruit here and so many varieties of bananas. I got my camera ready and was looking out the window right and left as they each tried to remember which turn to make and exactly where to go. Imagine my surprise when we pulled up to this:

Clearly I need to think of a practical joke I can play before I leave...
