Suyen and I went on vacation in Cebu from 16 to 30 April 2006. Here are some of the sights and sounds from our trip.
We drove from Hagnaya to Compostela. We headed out of Hagnaya on the main highway that goes down the eastern side of Cebu province. We get behind a crazy bus and end up on a windy road as it comes out of the mountains.

When we arrived in Manila, we had to catch a bus from the international terminal to the domestic terminal. Here is how the traffic looked that Monday morning.
I am driving in to work via I-70 heading into downtown Kansas City. It is about 06:00. I pass through an overpass that frames the downtown pretty well. I call it the eastern gateway.

I went railfanning at three places on this day. I started on the east end at a place I call Levee Junction, then I got one at "Don Ball Curve" and last at a place I call Pines Junction.

On our third day, we drove up the east side of Cebu Province to Hagnaya, to catch the ferry to Bantayan Island.
My friend John Ambrose took a western trip with his family. He, being a railfan, often stopped at various railroading hotspots along the way and shot video. In this video, he and his family are staying in Cut Bank Montana, which sees a lot of traffic on the former Great Northern mainline, which at the time of the video was part of the Burlington Northern Railroad.
A Northbound BNSF Coal train waits in the hole for a green signal. Then after it takes off, another coal train with cars from La Cygne power plant takes its place and waits for a lowly KCS manifest. The manifest comes along and does a roll by inspection, then the BNSF train gets the highball and takes off northbound.

Madridejos is the small town at northernmost tip of Bantayan Island, and therefore at the northernmost point of Cebu Province. We drove through town on our way to Suyens aunt's house to get some crabs at the small fishing village to take with us on our picnick later.
I'm driving in downtown Lawrence. They are doing some sort of deconstruction downtown, but all the POSCos's are gone so I guess it's a good time to do it. Waukarusa Fest is going on so downtown is kinda empty in this late hot afternoon.
I shoot at a different location this time. I'm at the end of the new flyover just built by the Kansas City Terminal in Western Independence. I'm shooting at dusk, but there is lots of traffic moving of all sorts. Towards the end of the video you see a person was walking around under the overpass on the tracks, then the rail police show up to check him out.

We went to get some fresh crab at the fishing village in Madridejos. Mmmmm, Crabbb......
