Tagum North

Rotary club visits are our bread and butter. Though we all love seeing the sites and doing our vocational exchange, it is at the meetings that we have the chance to talk to the club members, usually share a meal, and spend time in fellowship. So for our readers at home - our other photos might look more exciting - but our club visits are very special - it is where we solidify the bonds with all our new friends. Last night we shared the evening with men of Tagum North and I tasted a new fruit - Mangosteen - and may have found my second favorite (yellow mangos are still pure joy). Though the entire evening was great, they treated us to our national anthem sung by the daughter of a Rotarian and WOW can she sing. They also lavished us with gifts...cementing our already strong belief that the people of the Philippines are the most generous and warm people we have ever met.
