Holy Thursday
We arrived on Holy Thursday here in the Philippines. (That is, my cousin Richard and I)
Note to self: Never ever forget to take off your long johns when flying back to the Philippines. Otherwise you have what I would call a "sweaty flight."
Our Lola requested that we come home at such a time in order for Richard to experience the very unique and grand tradition of Goof Friday here in the Philippines. (FYI: the celebration of the passion of Christ is celebrated in the Philippines yearly in a very special way. Special because it actually attracts the Discovery Channel and National Geogrphic people to document it so I need not say more.)
So we await my area's celebration tomorrow wherein we get ourselves involved in a 3 hour, 700-person, walking-under-the-sun, procession. Whoopee.

It's so unique and special that they actually call it "Goof" Friday over there.
