Days 45-47: Last Days in Manila

I had mixed feelings about leaving Manila.  On one hand we couldn't wait to get back to the land that we love.  To eat fruit without soaking it in bleach first.  To drive my own car without traffic!  To drink pure water straight from the tap.  On the other hand, I knew I'd miss the simple life and all that uninterrupted time with the family.  I'd miss every day being an adventure.

We tried to fill our last days with all our favorite things:  the pool, church, Heat (the amazing buffet at the hotel restaurant), and friends who became dear to us in such a short amount of time.
