IRRI staff housing compound pool
Tim: This blog is written by two people who moved to the Philippines in 2004. They live in the IRRI staff housing compound in Los Banos, Philippines, which is where I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s. There are a lot of familiar photos from the area and I loved looking at just a few of them! This pool is where I learned to swim.

After I got back, my shoulders weren't any more relaxed, so I walked up the hill to have a swim at the pool. I took the camera in case I saw anything interesting. Before I started my swim, I sat on the taller of the two diving boards and took about five pictures of the lifeguard swimming laps at the end of his day, just as it was getting dark. I liked this one.
