Let's Take Dad to Bicol

Sorry for the long time between posts, but October was here and gone before we realized. After much waiting and anticipation my Dad finally arrived on October 5th. He arrived late Sunday night and upon his arrival we had to take him to our favorite restaurant, JT's, which just so happens to be open till one in the morning. We ordered our regular 1/4 chicken and garlic rice, but my dad who had come to the Philippines with a sense of adventure, was quick to ask for something exotic. So on top of our regular order we added one stick of barbequed chicken anus. What a way to start a trip to the Philippines. We spent the next few days hanging around Manila before heading down to the island.

We spent the next week in Bicol on Cagraray Island, at the mission base of Faith In Action, the same place we have visited countless times before. We dragged my Dad all over the island to and from Bible studies, up and down stairs, and even to a few Bible studies on nearby San Miguel Island. He was a trooper and though we kicked his butt day after day, he was all to willing to get up the next day and do it all over again.
