This Thanksgiving, I've been very grateful for the chance to visit my sister Sheralie and her husband Pete in Manila, Philippines. We've had a marvelous time - catching up, playing with Jeffrey, Laird and Lucy, and getting a chance to see the Philippines.
Here are some pics:
Morning rice fields and water buffalo
The canyon below Pagsanjan Falls
Sheralie, Jeff and I with our awesome guides.
(I'm going to devote a whole post to how incredible they were later.)

The inscription on the south side of the bell tower reads:

THE SOULS OF THE VALIANT

You're the man. Have fun in Korea on the way back.
Mike, I think it's official. You've been to 20,000 more places than I have, and I think that's really cool.
Someday you're going to arrive somewhere, open your suitcase, and I'll be curled up in there. Sneaky.
Dude that is sweet that you have been to so many places - Philippines, Korea, Africa. You are living it up!
