Kickin it in the 'pines!

Here are some pictures of life as I've experienced it in the Philippines thus far. Enjoy!



Rice! It's what's for lunch and dinner. It's what's in every field and continually harvested. It is the life blood of the Philippines.






Here is a rice field. After harvest, the farmers burn the remaining stalks/plants.

Beauty.






Typical street view on way into the city.







A house on one of the postpartum visits. It was raining a lot. Notice all of the water!!

Me and Jokes, our fearless driver to the postpartums : )







Many families own pigs here. Yay for breastfeeding ;)







This animal is called a Caribou, or also known as a water buffalo. They help the farmers plant and harvest the rice. They're everywhere!





One of the families we visited had a baby kitten! It was pretty scraggly and thin, but oh so cute and playful.




Karina, Jenn and I took Aira to the only air-conditioned coffee shop in town, Starmaxx! It was to celebrate Aira's 7th birthday!
