We're here!!!

Hello everyone,

We arrived safe and sound in Manila exactly on schedule at 6:35 pm (6:35 am Toronto time) Tuesday after leaving Peterborough at 5 am Monday (a 29 hour day by the time we were settled at the hotel). We can already tell that Wednesday looks great over here this morning (8:40 am) so you Canadians hopefully will anticipate a beautiful Wednesday when you wake up. Our neighbours, the Bentley's, already informed us that the white 'stuff' was visible on Monday after we left.

We praise God for His constant care and pray that He will cover our needs as we proceed.

After a bit of rest day today we begin our work here on Thursday visiting some established dairy farms somewhere not too far from Manila. On Friday we are expected at a Northern Regional Conference convened by the National Department of Trade and Industry where the Philippine Ambassador to Canada will be present and it is hoped that Philipine President Arroyo will also be present...that is, if we can schedule and manage the 10+ hour bus trip north to Tuguegarao (475km north of Manila).

...until next time.

Hi you two. This is a great idea ! Much easier for people to read your material and see your pictures. Good luck with that humidity.

Hi Hans and Cathy,
Glad to see you made it safely. Sorry I took so long to reply. Had to have the kids show me how to use a blog. Everything is fine here.

Look forward to your future tales.
