Taking a quick break during a family lunch to update. Hanging out with a large group of my extended family is fun, with all the aunts, uncles and cousins I don't usually get to see, but it also takes awhile to get used to. Especially with all the tagalog being used.
Currently eating one of the buco (young coconut) tarts we bought yesterday in Tagaytay. Besides eating lunch with a view of the Taal volcano, we also visited the farm of my cousin's boyfriend's family (papaya. mango. pineapple and god knows how many other tropical fruits. farming in the tropics is so much more delicious sounding than back home), and the pink sisters convent. Where the nuns habits are pink, which is kind of fun.
Though the story of the day was really the horrendous traffic. We hit it getting to dinner at another of my aunt's places, and then again getting home, so we had a really late night.
Today so far, just church (followed by snacks and a spot of shopping - the church is on the campus of the University my mom went to, so I picked up some stuff from the gift shop) and then back here for lunch with the fam. I think there are dinner plans in the work, but we'll see. I still havent unpacked, but at this point it feels like there isnt much of a point...
