Day Six (Fri, 6/26)

We got up early today to get some sunrise pictures, but it was raining.  Still got some good ones though.

Cloudy morning

Left Ormoc today for Tacloban.  Over the mountains to the other side of the island and saw MacArthur's statue.  Even with it raining most of the way, there were some pretty spectacular views.

Tacloban was one of the worst hit cities by Typhoon Yolanda, but you see a lot of rebuilding.  You also see that a lot needs done though.  

Almost got to cross off another island off my list today.  Our driver took us to the San Juanico bridge to Samar Island, but instead of taking us over, he stopped midway (!) and we got out to take pictures.  Got some good ones, but it was weird to stroll along a somewhat busy two-lane bridge.

Dinner tonight: "Burger steak" and rice with egg drop soup (I think).
