(It's funny: My original worry upon moving to Cagayan was making sure that I always had an internet connection to rely on. It has turned out that the internet connection is the most reliable service I have. It's the electricity that I need to worry about.)
Pueblo De Oro Golf Course is very
nice, but unless you speak Korean,
you won't find many people to meet.We drove out first to the one of the local golf courses, Pueblo De Oro, about 2 miles from my house. I used to be a great golfer, and would love to start playing regularly again. I had been told before about Pueblo De Oro this fact: If you go to play there, you'll find you have the course largely to yourself, and anybody else you see will probably be Korean. (Korean businessmen find it is cheaper to fly to Mindanao for the weekend to play golf than stay in Korea and play.)
That certainly seemed to be the case. For a Saturday afternoon, the clubhouse only had about six people in it... all Korean. The parking lot had 20 or 30 cars in it, which meant that there were probably 10 or 15 groups out on the course playing at most. The course did look quite nice though... just don't try calling it a "Country Club" with the social interactions that suggests.

River bed, with our house
above and behind her head.After that, we drove down across the river to the other side of the valley and... after about 10 minutes of driving down the wrong side streets, Epril and I finally found the single road that leads to the peninsula of land next to the river right below our house on the hill above. The place is owned by a rock quarry company of some sort, and therefore only has one access point... although it always has people in there wandering around fishing, swimming, or tending free-roaming livestock.
After that, it was back home to find the electricity on, to do a little work and have dinner.

ReplyDeleteyou havnt mentioned the election for a while now.
you were posting that obama had clinton beat
something changed ?
Nope... nothing has changed.
ReplyDeleteClinton won Pennsylvania 54.5% to 45.5%.
From this point forward, if she wins every remaining state, and all of the remaining superdelagates by 68% to Obama's 32%, then she could win the nomination. This, of course, she cannot do.
