Leftovers

I hope ya'll love leftovers as much as me. In my opinion, some food tastes better after its aged a day or two. Spaghetti always taste better after it has sat on the refridgerator shelf for at least a full 24 hours. Thanksgiving leftovers are some of my favorites because your holiday bird makes yummy yummy sandwiches and candied yams are one the few times you can get away with eating marshmallows for breakfast as an adult.

However, these are not those kind of leftovers. When skimming through my few hundred pixeled souvenirs from my 7-month excursion in the Philippine Islands, I found a few that just made me smile and remember those crazy crazy days of summer with my american student volunteers. While I'm stingy with my yams, these I will share!

This picture was taken during my very last week in the Philippines from a highyway overpass. It's such a harsh overwhelming reality to see the stark contrast of the miles of shanties against the modern city skyline.

This was a bitter sweet moment for my girls and I, when our precious little Analiza was well enough to go home. This particular orphanage actually took in malnoursihed tribal children, nursed them back to health, and returned them to their loved ones.
