I can't believe it!
GSE has come to an end...and we spent one of our last nights partying it up with our good friends...some of the wonderful, wild, vivacious women of Rotary in Bacolod. We sang karaoke 'till our voices were scratchy, we danced 'till our feet hurt...we ate tons of food like lechon (an entire pig!), cake, and other delicious foods. That was excellent.
Tommi heads out to her other adventures in Taiwan and Malaysia for the next two weeks; Emily is off to Palawan and other islands in the Philippines with her husband; and Lauretta & I are off on our own adventures in the north Philippines!
We arrived back in Manila just about 2 hours ago today. We booked some bus tickets to travel late tonight to Baguio City, 6 hours north from here. We will depart at 11:45pm tonight and sleep on the bus :)
We were adventurous and took a Jeepney from the bus station to the MALL OF ASIA; we're so proud of ourselves! We've finally rode in both a tricycle and a jeepney now. So this mall...this place is giant! It's like an entire city to itself. But we have quite a few hours to kill...
Thanks to everyone we met through this fantastic trip. We have been reminiscing on all the good times, the strange times, the funny times, the crazy times, and everything in between. Overall...we are so grateful for our experience here and all the new friends we have made. We want to come back and see more!
Much love to all our Filipino friends and beyond. To all the Rotarians here and their spouses, families, friends, and all the support we received through this trip. Our experience wouldn't have been as valuable and wonderful without all of you. Thanks to all the Rotarians back home in Oregon in our district. This has been a fabulous past 4 weeks....
