made it and loving it already!

Lo and I left SF Wednesday night and arrived in Cebu Friday morning. When we first landed in the philippines it was 4am and 86 degrees outside... lets not even talk about the humidity. Lo and I have been drinking water (bottled of course) like it's our job. I dont have time for a long update now, just letting everyone know I made it here safe! And that I saw my first birth today and it was incredible! The clinic is right next to the small apt we're staying in (so minimal and yet considered luxurious compared how our neighbors live). Extreme poverty where we are but hilary assures us that the area is safe. We were given a full tour of the clinic and told about our duties (which include taking vitals, bathing the newborn and hopefully "catching" the babies during the birth!!). we're soo excited and very hungry so we're leaving the internet cafe down the street to go get some dinner at the clinic. More to come! It is awesome here!!
