the philippines
april 26- may 8, 2000
our house (is a very very very fine house)
back in january, chris, a jet down south asked if anyone was interested in doing a habitat for humanity project with him. feeling like maybe it was time for me to do some travelling that was a little less self serving, i signed morgan and i up, not really sure what to expect, but figuring it would be an adventure. 4 months later, we set off (with 12 other people) for the philippines, still not exactly sure what to expect (some of us didn't find out exactly where we were going to be until we arrived at nagoya airport april 26th), but still figuring on an adventure. adventure indeed. the trip turned out to be one of the best things i've ever done. we worked in the habitat village for a week, then headed south to one of the philippine's famed beaches to relax, and celebrate what we had done. enjoy!
