Celebrity sightings, delicious dinners, and Kublai

Soooo, during some fellowship at the Marco Polo hotel with the East Davao Club we had 2 celebrity sightings!   Muy guapo!!  We met Robin Padilla, known as the Filipino 'James Dean' and bad boy and Ricardo Cepeda, known for playing bad boys.  Ricardo is the brother of Ronnie, one of the rotarians that was hosting us for the afternoon.  It was exciting, even though we are not exactly familiar with their work.  

That evening, we were treated to Milo's Tex-Mex feast!!  We had dinner at his Aunt's house,  ,  also a rotarian.  Her house is a beautiful spanish style home, so it was perfect with our Tex-Mex treat!  Colleen and I also visited Ponce Suites, a funky small hotel that featured Kublai's artwork (the artist that makes all the native sculptures in our photos).  Every wall was covered in his work of every type of medium you can imagine.  It was interesting to see some of his experimental and not as refined work!

Don't mess with Texas...even in the Philippines!
