More Hiking

quick update:

hiked rice terraces in the sunshine for about 4 hours today in Banaue. We ended at an overlook that is the featured picture on the 1000 Peso note. Later today we are taking the Autobus back to Manila, but we will be spending time in Makati, which is the rich district. We will be looking at things like how Gucci stores can exist while people are living in poverty all over the place. We will also be going to the "girly bars" or bars where commercial sex tourism takes place. We will be paying the girls only to talk to them and learn more about their lives. I am excited and nervous for this as I know it will be a very emotional experience. I am very tired from all of the hiking but very satisfied. The weather is clearing up too and the sun is back in full force. Hope everyone is doing well, does anybody know how the Penguins are doing???
