If you want to know a place, you have to get out of your vehicle and walk. Each year, when we visit Bahay Pag-asa Youth Centers, we find opportunities to learn about the natural environment and the homes of the residents by walking. Yesterday we used tricycles (motorcycles with sidecars), jeepneys, and open air buses to get to the base of Mount Kanlaon and then walked through small villages and rice fields to get a glimpse of the rich natural environment of the Philippines. From lush tropical vegetation and ornate butterflies to rather scary big leeches (see below), we filled our eyes and our memories with the wonders of this island.
