Keren and... Read More at Footstops.com http://www.footstops.com/dawne314/blog/296/ http://www.footstops.com/dawne314/blog/296/ Mon, 05 Feb 2007 01:31:31 -0800 My final day... We spent the day in Manila, first going to church (it's Sunday, after all), and then heading out to the mall (it's Manila, after all) for a last stop for souvenirs and food at the market (we're Pinay after all!) ...

Mostly we wanted to do this so we could get an early start and make it all the way to Los Banos today so that we can ...

Since there were too many of us to take Owner (I believe 10 of us were going), the original plan had been to hire a van to take us all the way to Puerto Galera. However, becaus...

We woke up early to head to Bancuro to go to a butterfly sanctuary and have lunch at a resort there. Our first surprise was on the road on the way there. It was flooded. We're talking a foot of w...

Keren had the "honor" of driving us (me and the aunties) around to visit the (many) various people we were supposed to visit toda...

Oh, and we're talking a very loose definition of shower here (a pail full of water that I "shower" over my hea...
