Our Last Stop... The Philippines!

---

The Philippines was our very last stop in this amazing Journey. It was sad to think that this was the very last country we were going to visit. For many reasons, this was the last time we were going to eat cultural foods or exotic foods, and the last time we were going to meet people of a different culture. We knew that we were going to take advantage of this opportunity and finish our race off strong. We found a great tour and tour guide so we spent our day looking around and touring, after all we are tourists.
