A friend in Tagaytay

There’s a friend of a friend wherever you go. As mentioned in the last blog, we popped up to the Philippines, and loved it, even though there were 3 typhoons in the area and there was more water than I’ve ever seen, falling, and flooding, and fogging – generally obscuring the views. Good thing we…
