Day 1 in Manila

After a certain point of exhaustion you no longer are too phased by a lot of things...that's what we've decided this a.m. Talk about overload. Sights, sounds, smells. So far our hotel is great we all slept well, now it's a little after 7 a.m. and we've discovered a college is located across the street. We're on the 4th floor and it's not the honking horns (which goes on constantly) that is a little noisy it's the whistles being blown by the 8 police/security/crossing guards? I'm not sure who they are exactly. There are 3 different uniforms and they are helping people cross from one side of the street to the other. Let me tell you when they blow their whistles and gesture you better believe drivers do what they're supposed to...if not there is much yelling...which has to be loud since I can hear it up here on the 4th floor. Well we are off to see about breakfast and hang out until we hear from Eva. Thanks for letting us hear from you it makes us feel a lot closer to home. Internet is great when it's working!
