Mom and Dad's trip to the southern islands

First we went to Zamboanga City on the 27th of April to attend our Rotary club district convention. The convention was from the April 28 to 30. It was attended by Rotarians from Panay Island, Negros and Zamboanga. Zamboanga is in the south western part of Mindanao. The first night dinner theme was western that is why we were all wearing western customs in some of the pictures. From Zamboanga we went to Davao. From Davao we went directly to South Cotobato (Lake Sebu) to visit your uncle Tom's sister who is the head of a mission there (with the T'Boli tribes in lake Sebu). We spent two night with her. She took us around her area which is really beautiful. We were also entertained by the T'Boli tribes with their native dances and songs in our first night there. Lake Sebu is situated near the top of the mountain yet it has several big lakes and waterfalls. You will like the place if you like living close to nature. We really like the place. From Lake Sebu we drove back to Davao and visited the sights over there. We went to Pearl farm resort and Eden garden. The Pearl farm resort is about the same standard of accommodations as Thailand. The price is of course Western standard too. It is very nice though. We spent 3 nights and four days in Davao enjoying the scneries and their fruits. They have many varieties of fruits and base on Filipino standards they have the best. But because we have tasted the fruits in Thailand, there is no comparisson. Bangkok fruits as far as we are concern are still the best. Your mom near the end of our trip was really tired because she has not fully recovered from her trip abroad yet.
