First Day in Cebu
Since everything was on time and we arrived on Friday night Cebu time, we were able to take one day to rest and relax on Saturday. We rested by the pool, swam in the sea, went parasailing, and finished up some of the shopping for supplies for our week. Everyone is doing well. No one is sick. We are all well fed. On Saturday night, we had a lovely dinner on the beach and were entertained by local dancers performing cultural dances. Several of us tried tinnickling (hopping over bamboo poles). I don't think I spelled it correctly, but it is not in spell check. We are going to see some of the islands this morning, then we start our work this afternoon. Dental clinic to be set up and classroom activities to be finalized. Thanks for all your comments!

r u guys skinny dippin?
ReplyDeleteJust as an FYI, thank you for going there. I am one of two U of L grads that have a very large humanitarian organization there in the Philippines. While not specifically in Cebu, one of the bases is very close in Bohol. Dont forget to see Fort San Pedro, Magellens Cross and of course a floating restaurant accessible by a pump boat that you can rent next to the Marriott on Mactan Island. Thanks for all your work there. A little bit of effort does so much good in the Phililppines. Ingat (take care)!!!
