We visited some exotic ports in October. The photo above is from the Philippines. An island called Palawan and the port of Puerto Princesa. This was a subterannean river turned into a national park. It was fascinating. We were each issued an audio device with earbuds to listen to a commentary. No one was allowed to speak, so we could hear the silence of the cave and the gentle drip, drip from the ceiling. This subterannean river is one of the New 7 Natural Wonders of the World.

We were able to do one of our YouTube shows in the past month. We also held two Members-Only Zoom meetings. These are not recorded. A.I. written summaries are available to members on request.
