I had some time for another short post. I have mentioned Kuya Toto in some past posts and I willing future, so for those of you who don't know, he is the director the orphanage. He live across the street and its him, his wife Atti Bebs, and three kids, Jake, Jaycelle, and Tovi (probably misspelled). All the kids are right around my age.
This morning I went with some of the adult staff and a few of the kids tothe marketplace. That was quitethe experience! I definitely stood out - being tall and white drew quite a bit of attention my way. But it was fun - I got to try some more Filippino cuisine there and experience and environment like nothing I have before. It sounds like like they go a couple times a week, so I am sure I will go again!
Because it is still raining we stayed inside most of the day again, just hanging out. I played basketball with one of the guys tonight, he was the only one who wanted to play - everyone else said it was too cold (its probably 70 degrees)... Haha!
More later...hope everyone is doing well back in the States!
