July 26: Brittany's update on travelling Filipinos

Hello all.
We are back to civilization for at least now, so we snuck off to the same internet cafe I sent the last update from. We left the last place evidently earlier than planned, because after the boat ride, we got to the town and our ride was still an hour or two off. So we have been doing so much. Lots of walking, I had to buy new flip-flops because the ones I had been wearing were wearing down too much, they already broke, and one of the teens fixed it the first week. But they have worn down on the bottom too much. So 140 Pesos. about 2.50 US$. We are off to travel the rest of the way around the island of Buhol. We made it about half way around, before we took a boat out to a little cluster of islands for a week, and now we are back on the main land. Now we are traveling a lot this week. I think we will be at a different place every night. at some point we will be eating lunch on a ferry, going to some waterfalls, snorkeling, and then the last night (Saturday night [Friday day to you]) we will be spending the night at an orphanage in one of the towns we first visited. We made a bunch of friends with the kids at that orphanage so a night there we will stay. I hope all is going well. I still have about a week, less I suppose. Yesterday was our last Sunday here. I was the one who got to teach in front of the church. It was intense but it went really well.

Miss everyone in the USA.
Hope all is going well.
Brittany C.
