This giant dao tree was a favorite place for internees to sit at Los Banos internment camp.
Boot Creek ravine; internees escaped along this path to bring back the 11th Airborne to rescue the camp.
Filipino bancas on Laguna de Bay, near Los Banos.
The main building of the University of Santo Tomas, site of the central internment camp in Manila. All of the Los Banos internees were transferred from here.
Visiting the magnificently well kept American military cemetery in Manila, resting place for all the soldiers and guerillas who fought to liberate the Philippines.
The view from my Hotel Manila window, showing Intramuros, the old city, where the Japanese made their last ditch defense in the Battle of Manila.
The pier on Corregidor where MacArthur waved goodbye, said "I shall return," and departed for Australia. In the background, Bataan peninsula.
The view from Intramuros, with the famous Manila Hotel in the background. MacArthur lived there, specifying that he have the same number of bedrooms, seven, as Malacanang Palace, official home of Filipino President Quezon.
Recognize this?
Ahhh, the view at Manly Beach, Sydney, after a looooong trip.
My dear mate Tom, who had never worn his cap backwards until I showed him. That, my friends, is a face.
In the Australian rain forest. An hour later, I discovered a leech between my toes. I bled for 12 hours.
