Today is our last day in Manila and we have been working on updating our blog and web photo albums and posting restaurant reviews for places we have visited. Also, doing our last emails. We also plan to go out for lunch and try to visit some places with soy soft serve ice cream.
Yesterday we did our last grocery shopping, and then went to a spa for a one hour full body massage for each of us.
We also finished watching some DVDs we had available. They were apparently pirated versions of current first run US movies copied, reportedly, in China. We should have guessed, since the latest James Bond movie, which just recently appeared in theaters, only cost one dollar. The packaging made them look like official copies. Although the image was decent, the English subtitles, apparently supplied in China, were outrageous (and non-sensical) and the sound also very poor! It just goes to show you get what you pay for.
Tonight is our flight back to San Francisco. We are looking forward to Spring in Oregon, gardening, and resuming work on our multiple Portland projects!

Ole, I sure enjoy watching the breathtaking views of those islands, the soft sand and crystal waters reminded me of Cuba. The "guayabano" is what we called "guanabana", and it is exactly the same as the one we have in Cuba. I'm glad that you guys enjoy such beatufil places before returning to our reality. Safety trip home
