Currently, we are in Bacolod of Negros Occidental! We've been here for a few days...and we will be here through DisCon, where we hope to see many of you once again!
Again, we have all been so busy with fun filled days with Rotarians and our host families...it's been difficult to find time (or functioning internet) to post updates on our blog.
We had an amazing time through all of the cities. Thank you everyone for the wonderful experience thus far...
Bacolod so far has offered us an array of exciting scenery, fun activities, amazing people and more amazing food. We explored Mambucal forrest resort up in the mountains where giant flying fox bats reside, thousands hanging in the trees and flying through the sky above us as we soaked in a natural sulfur hot spring. We explored the waterfalls and the varying trees and plants. Beautiful!
We also were able to tour the Hawaiian-Philippine sugar cane mill...a fantastic tour that showed how loads upon loads of sugar cane gets processed into the sugar crystals we love to eat!
My host family took me on a lovely scenic view up the mountains to Don Salvador, a small town of 20,000-ish people. That was amazing! I was able to see many beautiful mountain rice terraces, higher altitude pine trees, waterfalls, and hills that resemble the Bohol Chocolate Hills.
Pictures to come later!
