Monday, January 9

Ok, its late! But I will really try to put up photos and more info tomorrow! Just a quick note: We went to the market and made a traditional philipino meal today: Chicken Adobo with a coconut milk/bean/squash/shrimp dish, rice, fried bananas, mangos, guavas, melon, pineapples, and strawberries - yum! Then to a Ladies Tea with the missionary ladies near the mall, coffee with a new sweet friend Charla Ruggles Epp, and a long chat with Bekka Fakner, Rosa, Andrew, Cathy, and Paul. Tomorrow we are headed to Batan to hike out to a nearby tribe. That will be quite different than the metro-city we are currently in (Manila is really 17 cities put together. We walked through the smoggiest intersection in the world today and got on our own Jeepney...well almost. I kinda am liking their transportation system here:)
