Today we woke up and headed to the buffet breakfast where we were able to have omelettes and waffles (tasted better than ever before). After that, we started our hike to the hidden valley waterfall. The path was made out of bamboo and a fallen tree. The ants were everywhere but that did not take away from the amazing view. After arriving back to the resort we quickly took our last warm shower and enjoyed the buffet lunch (with a fresh fruit smoothie as dessert). The bus left at 2..... little did we know it would take 2 hours to drive 5 miles. The traffic was extra busy due to the students returning to college and the holiday break coming to an end.
After 4 hours on the bus (normally 2) we arrived back at Mary Johnston where we were greeted by the students. They were very welcoming and excited. They treated us to their special dinner tradition called "boodle fight"....which required us to eat all the traditional food by hand as well fight for what we wanted. After stuffing ourselves with food we had a fellowship with the students which involved singing, games, and food tasting. Molly and Paige were daring enough to try "balut" which is a Filipino delicacy (Google to find out more information). Other students tasted quail eggs which were breaded.
We ended the night with Filipino ice cream treats and took our cold shower and headed to bed to prepare for the long day of presenting.
Molly and Paige!
