We visited a animal rehabilitation center. Colleen and Alexis were loving it!!

This cat like animal, civet, eats coffee beans and poops them out and then we make coffee out of them! haha I need to try this. I am on a mission to find some coffee today!

The animals at this rehabilitation center are released if they recover, but most stay there because they are injured. I am not sure what the name is of this eagle is.

This fruit, mangosteen, was delicious! Sweet and sour. The red/purple skin has many health benefits and is used in medicine.

On Sunday, we headed to Lake Sebu to see the waterfalls, lake, ZIPLINE, and learn more about the native culture.

Sorry, RC Marbel, I don't have the photos from our meeting. I will have to get them and post them. Here are some from the RC Koronadal's meeting. More Karaoke and some xbox dance party (I think thats what it was), and of course more Lechon. I think we are up to 12 Lechons and rumor has it that there will be 3 more at the GSE night tonight!
