Villa Escudero

Bamboo rafting in a lagoon at Villa Escudero in the Philippines, 1997.  This was one of the highlights of our trip.  I was made fun of for making my Lolo do all the paddling as my parents and my aunt and uncle watched from the pier.  Little do they know that I wanted to paddle (why do you think I took the front seat?), but my Lolo kept yelling at me to stop.

Dude, like I said ... if my family was the maffia, my Lola would be the Godfather.  Do you really wanna mess with the husband?
ME & ABIGAIL   PHILIPPINES 1982

My first time to the motherland and my mom gave me a Dumb & Dumber bowl cut that almost resulted in a divorce between my parents.  My mom was no longer allowed to cut my hair, even if it was just to trim my bangs.

I am forever stuck with the nickname "Sandwich Head."

Isn't this creepy deja vu?  I was playing with my aunt's neighbour and took this picture of her.  I kid you not, I didn't recognize the place until I pressed the shutter.  How weird that it was another 2 year-old on her bike.  The same pot-hole is in the ground and bascially the same car is parked in the background.  I still trip out over it.
