The day finally came for my trip to PI. This is the first time I have traveled such a long distance alone, although traveling by myself is not foreign to me. Fortunately, the flights were all on time except for the commuter flight from SAN to LAX, but United did pull through and get me to LAX on an earlier-scheduled flight which turned out to arrive at LAX later than my reserved flight was scheduled to be there.
March 22 - Arrival in Cebu
Donna, Todd, Nathan, and Erica met me the airport in Cebu; and we headed directly to the hotel where we would spend the night and catch the only daily ferry that travels between Cebu and Dumaguette. I couldn't have asked for better timing.March 23 - Home in Dumaguette
On the way home from the four-hour ferry ride, we stopped at the Persian Palace for a good hearty lunch to get us started on our day of getting organized as a temporary family for the next two weeks.
March 24 - A Typical Saturday
Donna and I awoke early and went for a walk this morning before the heat of the day arrived. I was surprised to find that we are only a few blocks from the sea. Now that we've been there once and know how long the walk takes us, next time maybe we can sit on the boulevard and I can watch the early-morning fishermen take their boats to sea.
Everything here is altogether wonderful - I'm sure all I see and hear and feel is colored by my joy at being with family here.
Soon after breakfast, we drove to the Farmer's Market. It's just a few blocks in another direction, and it happens every Wednesday and Saturday. I was able to get a few pictures there.
Driving in downtown Dumaguette is always colorful. It seemed everyone was in town today.
