So travel to the Philippines has not been as bad as I anticipated, The plane ride was forever long, but we are finally here, and I still cannot wrap my head around that we are actually across the world. Driving through Manilla to get to the missions house where we are staying reminded me of driving through southern Mexico. There were junk yards and random shops and lots of people and dogs.
After arriving at the missions house, we were warmly welcomed and given a great lunch of rice, noodles, chicken, and lemon bars. After lunch, we changed into something to swim in and hopped on the bus. We drove and drove up through the winding mountains and finally arrived at a beautiful waterfall park. After about a one and a half minute hike, we came upon a beautiful waterfall. We swam for a while and the crisp water was just what my jet-lagged body needed.
