I refuse to join Facebook, but I want to be able to share some of my adventures, so I thought I would try blogging. We will have to see how long this experiment lasts...

Note: Do not wait to be the last person to get a blog, all the good names are taken (especially if you have a common name like Sarah). I tried Sarah + variations of Trips, but it just looked like a stripper's page, sigh.

Anna's Last Night

Last night was Anna's last night.  ABV will still be in contact with the team, but one-by-one our "minders" will be leaving us on our own.  Anna has been great - showing us restaurants, arranging transportation, introducing us to our clients, etc.  She will be missed.  So we decided to send her off with a big night out - including Karaoke!

We had a really big thunderstorm roll through around 5, but it was over by 5:15.  The streets of Davao flood after big rainstorms, but the water is gone in a few hours.  It is a little nerve-racking driving through the flooded streets, but no one here even seems to notice (the cabs just slow down a little).

Tiny Kitchen

Waya took the whole group to a local favorite - Tiny Kitchen Restaurant.  The restaurant has a Spanish flair - they even serve paella; but the true draw is the deserts and bakery.  The restaurant is literally TINY - our group of 16 took over almost the entire restaurant.  Everyone ordered something, but as usual, we ended up eating family style passing all the different dishes around.  It was very good and we finished if off with Red Velvet and Carrot Cake.  We also grabbed some breads and cookies to go.




After dinner we went out for Karaoke.  It turns out Thursday night is not a common going out night in Davao, so we had the bar to ourselves.  Some of the team is really good at karaoke and we had a great time.  The bar was small and nice.  We didn't get home until late and some missed breakfast at the hotel :) before having to head off to work today.

  1. Great blog, so far! I started a blog once...think it made two posts before I flaked. My life is boring tho!
    I posted your blog on (gasp) Facebook for the rest of our friends who care about you. Since you're the only one not on it, I figured it was the fastest way to update everyone. :)
    Thanks for finally doing something to remedy how very little I know about your daily life. You're a true friend! :D
    Love ya girl! Loyally, k
