Recreational Day

Today we traveled two hours to the countryside of the Philippines. Habitat International paid to give us a recreational day because of all the confusion at the airport yesterday. We decided to spend the day in Tagaytay Highlands with their Chief Financial Officer. It was a beautiful view! We took a cable car ride down the hills overlooking the volcano and did some hiking and more sightseeing. Then we ate lunch together at the Country Club and afterwards headed for the Sky Ranch to ride the biggest ferris wheel I've ever seen. We spent awhile there until the Chief Financial Officer offered to have dinner prepared for us in her home. It was a gorgeous house and a delicious meal. After dinner she gave us all gifts from her store. I got a hand-made bracelet and purse. We all felt so welcomed and thankful for the thoughtful gifts and hospitality! We sang one karaoke song for her, at her request, and we made on our way back. Now we're at the hotel preparing for another day at the airport. We'll meet in the lobby at 3am like yesterday to leave for the airport and hopefully will make it home this time!
