vlog #352 Hmm, Possible STINKFOOT in San Miguel?
Переглядів 85День тому
This one picks up exactly where the last one left off. The walk in Barangay San Miguel continues as far as possible on the boardwalk. The walk isn't edited since there is a viewer ramfarin who has a boat along the beach somewhere. Perhaps if they can give me a clue where it is from watching the vlog I can find it next time I'm there. Then we answer the big question...did I get "STINKFOOT" from ...
