FORWARD: This post was initially written on May 29th, 2017 but I am now uploading it to the Steem blockchain via @engrave on ChrisRice.blog. My main website is now ChrisRice.xyz.
On the way back to Davao City we dropped by a religious tourist spot named Divine Mercy. The site consists of a good sized church, a large landscaped park, and a big statue of the legendary Jesus Christ. There is also a place to light candles and some souvenir booths lining the entrance.
I was still sleepy when we got there so I didn't look around that much but I got to sit in a large peaceful church. It was easy to observe the silence and I enjoyed it. Thank you for reading about our travels and I hope you enjoy the photos!

The ocean looks beautiful in the Philippines.

Thanks for noticing the ocean @johnkarnish.
There are certain parts of the ocean in the Philippines, where its possible to look straight down from the boat, all the way down to the sand, and the fish + starfish are visible.
There is probably a limit if a person starts getting deep enough in the ocean where the water will no longer be clear, but towards the shoreline, that clarity is beautiful.
It kind of photographs that in the bottom photo of this post 😀👍
Hey @chrisrice, sorry for the late reply. Yeah sounds beautiful. I heard Bali, in Indonesia is like that. My brother-in-law is there so maybe one day I will be sharing some pictures ;-)
Take care...
Yeah @johnkarnish, that would be nice. It's a great experience and snorkeling would likely cost $5.00 USD or so per person and it's worth it!
