Today is the first day we have internet

So I am behind on posting, we have been staying in Dumegette and they had no internet access there. I am behind on my adventures, and answering the emails from Erin's class. I will post one last LARGE post when I get back to the US and have internet again.
I have had a great time, meet a lot of people and made friends with everyone on the trip! I loved meeting the children and teens (some were even older than me). It was an adventure I will never forget, people and a place I won't forget either.
I wish everyone could do something like this- to see the places, meet the kids in such need and bring joy to them in a small way is amazing...
I am off to the airport for the 24+ hour trip home, thanks to all of you for helping make this possible for me.

Luv,

Lyn

PS here are the answers to Erin's class questions!

Thanks for the information. We are enjoying reading about your trip and your pictures too. We have also been looking at other things about where you are. A few more questions today if you don't mind.....they could easily give you 25 a day, but I wouldn't do that to you.....

#1. (from Megan) Are you still a little jet lagged from you trip?? Yeah I am Megan, and I will be more, cause today we leave for the US. We have been traveling from place to place on planes and boats, so it has been hard to get caught up on your sleep. I feel like I wanna sleep for a whole day!

#2 (from Tonasia) I was wondering how the weather is there....it has been raining a lot here. Tonasia, it has been HOT and humid here. We have been wearing shorts and capris the entire time.

#3. (from Austin) How many kids are there in each place? Austin, each place has a lot of kids, some of the places we went have over 100 kids, and some have 30 or 40. When I come to your class I will show you pictures, we went to a lot of place, and saw some many CUTE kids!

#4. (from Kiera) Are you having fun? Kiera, I am having a lot of fun! The kids and teenagers love to see us, and we are giving them Christmas presents, teddy bears and candy, one of the members of our team Jay, even takes there picture with a polaroid camera so they can keep it. They love it and so do we.

#5. (from Joel) What kind of food do the kids like to eat? Do they only eat rice and soy sauce? :) The kids around here LOVE JollyBee's, I have pictures of it, it is the Philippines McDonalds. They have spagetti and friend chicken as their meal there. They also eat a lot of fruits and veggies at their places. They eat well and aren't hungry, the people they live with take good care of them. We can talk about it when I come to your class, ok? I even have pictures of the food.

See you all, miss you all. I'll post more pictures and the stories of my trip later...off to Hong Kong then to the USA!
