Leaving

I'm about to leave Dumaguete City. Here, I have met people who are, without a doubt, the kindest, friendliest, most accommodating and trustworthy people in the world. It's no wonder the Philippines is often called the "Happiest Nation on Earth", because it true. People here have such a positive attitude to life, and it contagious. I hope to come back here some day, to visit with the friends I've made over the last two weeks. It truly has been wonderful. I will be in Manila over the week-end, and back to real life in Washington DC on Monday. - Gaston
