    First Silver of 2012 and first in Philippines

    Decided to try some beach detecting today in Talisay, Philippines. A word on the beaches here. It is not like USA at all...there are no woman in bikinis, woman laying on blankets to get a tan. Philippine woman do not like the sun; they even carry umbrellas in the sunshine. Philippine culture...
