Educ Tour: First Day

We had our tour last Jan 06-07 2o11. First day was great! Assembly time was 6:30 but my friend, Kim, arrived at past 7:30. haha. :)I was in Bus B with Kia, Kish and Kim. Marga was in Bus A. First destination was Villa Escudero. We went to see their museum. They had different animal ruins, bones that were preserved and those were really fascinating. They also had different religious arts, pottery, costumes and other historical collections. Next, we had our lunch at their Waterfall Restaurant. It was a buffet style restaurant. We really stuffed ourselves and were really full. LOL :) After lunch, we had our free time so went anywhere, picture here, picture there. We also tried rafting. It was around 2pm and the sun was high, imagine, rafting under the sun. haha. :) we almost burnt ourselves. tsk! but it was fun though. :)) by 3pm, we were told to get back on the bus. we rest and continue our rolling tour. We had a stop over at MOA because the other bus got a problem, flat tire. so we had a chance to go around MOA. We also thought that we were left behind because when we went back to the place where they should pick us up, no one was there, but we were glad we immediately found them. We had our dinner cruise around Manila Bay. It was nice, live band and delicious food. :) Fun time also, Jessa sang and danced. We really party all night with our professors. :) Around 9:30pm, we got to the hotel, Bay View Hotel, in front of US Embassy. We rest, took a shower, watched tv, and slept! and i think I only got 3hrs of sleep.. haiisst! but it's okay, :D then our first day ended. :) we got recharged and full of enegy again for the second day. :))
