In Manila already

Wow! I can't believe that we are in the final stretch before returning home. I could stay for a few more months at least and still never see all there is to see. We are staying in the home of Sonny and Lyndia Ventura and the hospitality has been on par with what we have come to know as customary for guests. We arrived yesterday around noon and were quickly escorted through the airport and baggage claim, then on to the waiting transportation. There we were greeted by Lyndia Ventura and Carmen Kobaiashi and taken for a wonderful lunch. After some sight seeing and a visit to the American Cemetary, we went to to rest for a few minutes then had dinner with Sonny and Lyndia's family and fellow rotarians. We shared stories and laughs. This continues to be a truly memorable experience that I will not soon forget. More pictures to come...
