It was pouring with rain the whole time on our travel back to Hamilton but we made it just in time for the Amazing Race TV series that we avidly watch. We were like in the amazing race too - we travelled more than 900 km for this weekend trip.

Families and Friends
We traveled to the United States in March 2009 to attend the wedding of Saling’s niece Christine to Joaquin in San Diego. The crowd in the wedding was a mix mostly of Filipinos and Mexicans who commonality is the Spanish influence in both cultures. This trip brought us joy as we rejoiced with the newly wed and spent time with relatives and friends that we have not seen for quite a while.
Our first stop was in California. We got a rented car and were always on the road visiting relatives and friends in the San Diego, Riverside and Los Angeles areas. One of the surprises of the trip was the visit to the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido courtesy of Mario’s former student from UP Rural High School in Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines. We then had a reunion in San Diego with four of Mario’s former students after 26 years and it was a great time reminiscing the past and laugh at it.
We had a great time with Gene and Helen Tabor and their daughter Beth. It was always a blessing to spend time with them.
Our next travel was about seven hour drive from Riverside to Vallejo, California where we reunited with friends and relatives we haven’t seen for a long time.
The last leg of our US trip was in Washington. We were hosted by our friends Danny and Angie in Olympia. We also went to Oregon and crossed the US-Canada border and visited Au and her daughter Marie in Vancouver, B.C. We had a great fellowship with all of them for they were all part of the couples’ Bible study we had in the Philippines.
