Pretty much in awe of some of the people I have had the privilege of meeting here. People that have chosen to dedicate there lives to service of others...on a global scale. Very cool. Also, makes me thankful for my US friends and family that have chosen service for their lives as well. Inspiring!
Today was another packed day. After meetings, we flew back to CDO from Manila, then dropped off bags and went straight to dinner with new friends from our host college...all around great people! Friends are family you can choose. This group is lucky to have each other, and we are lucky to have met them.
Ended night as a group in local coffee shop. I'm typically not a coffee drinker. However, I'm also typically not in the Philippines, so drank local native red bean coffee with rest of the team. Wow, based upon my current state, I'm guessing there was a quite a bit of caffeine in it!
Now back in room & have tv on one of the only channels from US. I have got my fill of Anderson Cooper's talkshow while here. He's on at 11pm local time. Love him on CNN, not-so-sure about the talkshow! His show is followed by Kathy Lee & Hoda, followed by Jay Leno. Funny choices, given all there is to choose from back home! Strange ties to home. All part of the experience!
Finally, Atlanta Braves baseball team is in playoffs at 5:35 am in the morning here (go braves!)...only a few more hours. Maybe I should have another cup of coffee and just stay up. My friends Kathy Lee & Hoda may need to keep me company!
