Cagayan de Oro

Arrived in CDO..."home" for next 4 weeks.

Typhoon Karen rains parted enough for us to have a safe flight in. Thanks for the support there, you know who you are!
Accommodations will take some adjustment but will be fine. Let's just say, I could be spoiled. Perspective.

Very tropical climate. Beautiful country. So hot! That may be a karaoke song for future...hot,hot,hot! :-)

Tropical  3" spider in my friend Tina's room (next to mine) was on wallwhen we both walked in together....screamed  to  find shoe, now cant find spider..was too late. For some reason I feel like it is coming to visit my room, so sleeping with clothes on and socks and a hat and the light on. Yikes! 

Grocery stores...they are called supermarkets. Experienced power outage....of which they came over a loudspeaker and told you to hold onto your things...and move to an armed uniformed guard for safety. Felt like I would throw up if I saw Jason Bourne come around the corner! One day at a time...

Fun Team Dinner at Thai Me Up restaurant...i have tried more new local food in last couple days than i have my whole life. Thats a big thing for someone that thinks a ham and turkey sub at subway is an exotic dish! As a result, not sure I'm feeling 100%, but will see. 

Toured city. Glimpses of wealth and poverty like I've never seen before. Extremes. My goodness, we  have so much...

Tomorrow - client meetings..pictures to follow!
