VISIT TO MINDANAO

We recently visited Mindanao to visit my family. I'm posting some video below from our digital camera. We still have a lot of VHS-C video to process (3 hours) and will try to convert some of it to post later. We had a great time. We stayed with my Cousin Frank in Santiago, Agusan Del Norte. He has a really nice place and he and his wife, Baby, took really good care of us and made us very comfortable. So much so we really didn't want to leave and can't wait to get back. Thanks to everyone we visited in Santiago, Mainit, Alegria, Butuan, Surigao, Davao, Cagayan, Ilegan, Tubay, Carmen, and all the rest. It was a great vacation that we will always remember. We also posted some photos on Flickr, the link is on the right side of this page.

Waterfall and Hot Spring in Santiago

On our last day in Santiago we took a hike down the road, across the river in a bonka boat, and up the mountain to a waterfall and hotspring with a lot of the family. It was a great time. Thanks to all of you.

Visiting Tatay Benjamin

Right after arriving in Santiago I went to visit with Tatay Benjamin at Frank's house. We stayed with Frank in Santiago during our whole trip. Thanks to Frank. He has a really nice place and made us very comfortable. We hated to leave.
