Fun times in Dumaguete

The ferry ride was crazy. Thanks to my eagerness to embrace the local experience, we took the economy fare for the ride, putting us in an open air room with 250 cots!! Fortunately, we were at the far corner and had a little privacy. Unfortunately, it rained in the middle of the morning and VP got soaked. Hahaha! We arrived in Dumaguete around 4am and Lolo Luis, Lola Celia and our cousin Myles met us up at the pier. Lolo Luis looks exactly like my grandmother!!! They could be twins, except his male and he dyes his hair black. Super cool! After breakfast, we met some of Lola's grandsons from Zamboanga -- Abby and Mark. They're cool. Kuya Myles with his bro-in-law JR picked us up in the afternoon and we all went to Twin Lakes. It was sooo beautiful! Unfortunately, it was that time of the month and I couldn't swim. Grrrr. Ate and Abby the non-swimmers rented lifejackets. I was hiking among rocks and slipped...now I've got a gash on my knee. The water was really cold and we didn't stay there long. We then headed to the beach where we crashed Kuya Myles' dad's bday party. We ate lots! The food was soo good, especially the chocolate cake. Yummy! This whole day was soo much fun =)
