Tagaytay Pictures

Here are some pictures from our Tagaytay Day-off last Wednesday.

The first picture was the view from the restaurant where we had our lunch. I love those houses (I think they're called "lodges" or "log cabins"). It is rumoured that a former president owns a house there.

I could just imagine myself living in that cabin and stepping out in the clear, crisp mountain air. Haaaay.

The second picture is Leo's mom with her parents and siblings. Her siblings will also be our principal sponsors. From L-R: Tita Chit (based in NJ--she lives near SIP Ave.), Tita Cristy (who's based in Seattle), Lola Remy, Uncle Bob (a doctor who is based here in Manila), Pang, Mama (Leo's mom!), and Tita Mike (who's based in Queens and is an editor at Columbia University?).

Third picture is us on the bridge outside the restaurant, although that's not all of us. The men are taking pictures--including Leo. I'm seated at the bottom. On my left is Jack and on my right is Lia, another cousin of Leo. Beside her is Leo's sister, Tricie. The other girls on the left are other cousins of Leo. L-R: Bambi, Erica, Mia (she's the one who got married last Jan. 17!), and Nicole. The first two are daughters of Tita Cristy while the others are daughters of Uncle Ken (he died in the '88 and is survived by his 7 children and his wife--Tita Gina--the one in green on the bridge).

The last picture are Leo's nephews. The two boys on both ends are the sons of his sister. They are Enzo (the one on the left, who will also be one of our bearers) and Jack (the one on the right, who will also be a bearer). Ages are 8 and 9 respectively. The one in the middle is the son of Bambi--Dylan. He's 3 and he's really talkative.
