We made it too Manila with no problems. A 3.5 hour flight is a nice refreshing change. So short! Of course, then we had to sit in Manila traffic for an hour or so. But it has been such a blessing to be here with my aunt & uncle. How great to be able to stay with family for a bit while on this trip. They have been most hospitable.
We made a quick stop at one of the many malls in town (Greenhills) to procure some pesos. We also now have use of a cell phone, which we loaded with minutes. So now we can be good Asians and text to our heart’s content (no one here actually talks on cell phones). It has already proved useful, as we have made contact with the people that we needed to for tomorrow. So, thanks for your prayers.

Time for some sleep!
