In Manila
As with the years before, All Souls' and All Saints' was tacked to a weekend, and my family fully intended to make the most of our 4-day weekend.
And so we did. We gobbled up donuts, stayed in a gorgeous suite with an amazing view of Manila Bay, went swimming, visited some malls which weree not our usual weekend destinations (Uniqlo at last!), had dinner in a magical Japanese restaurant, brought our boy to see penguins for the first time in his life, got to meet a beautiful pair of baby boy twins, spent time with the grannies, discovered lambrusco blanco, touched base with dear old friends, caught up on dvd tv series of Poirot and Castle sitting at home, stumbled across some beautiful finds for our home, and got to simply enjoy being together. It was wonderful.
