Joseph's Notes

Well, we’ve done it! We’ve travelled to every municipality in the Province of Bohol. One city—Tagbilaran, and 47 towns.

Sunrise over the Bohol Sea From Panglao in the south to Talibon in the north. From the port of Jagna in the east toward Camiguin and Mindanao, to the port of Tubigon in the west toward Cebu.
