I read over my last post and got the impression that maybe I was making it seem like the only time we relaxed and weren't work work working was on Sunday. There were many times through the week when the people of the church would have something special for us that would help us get the full experience of the Philippines.

On one of the work days, they cut a bunch of young coconuts for us and bored a hole in them so we could drink the juice. I think it was Randy that said we should have a coconut chugging contest.....somehow from that we got a joke about Crystal's coconut being fermented. Everybody had a good laugh and for some reason, the fermented coconut joke stuck around for the rest of the trip.

This is a pic of the chugging contest.....I don't think Randy liked it as much as the rest of us. It had a slight sweet taste and there was a lot of it. I tried to drink it all but I couldn't because there was just too much.
