Wow! It does not surprise me that you have danced the night away to 90s music and have hitched a ride :) It sounds like such an incredible experience. I LOVE reading your blog...your writing totally paints a picture!
HAHA! Cool Runnings? Mufasa Lodge? I snorted when I read those. Glad you made it there safely and didn't get killed by mama. Miss you lots and look forward to your next entry! xoxo, Randi
cooking Malawi style Love the image of you pounding away at vegetables - we'll expect a hand-made meal on your return of course! Kudos on navigating a trip to the countryside/lake area so quickly after arrival!
Have you ever been in prison? Love that line! I can't wait to see what is going on with Sally and hopefully it will just be funny weird and not scary weird!
Really enjoying the blog and living vicariously! Also, will you actually get back your laptop?
We are doing well here - mired in poop and burps but still in bliss!
hahahaha. it is such a treat to read your adventures....especially when i know they're all TRUE =) hehehehe. Polution! La Union! Filipino men with endless capabilities until you find their flaw =) hilarious! Food, more food, and then some more food! I know Kuh Ledesma, not related to Maria Ledesma =) Jose Rizal spoke at least 10 languages! Driving in the dark =) and yes... something is always wrong with the water pumps and hot water (not that you need it there =) takes awhile! Enjoy some more =) Philippines is definitely fun! Extreme contrast of poverty and luxury, isn't it?! have you seen those flying cockroaches no matter how beautiful the homes =)? Ahhhh, manila. I miss it sometimes =)
