Found a driver, now let's go

We pretty much start everyday with breakfast in the Granvia Cafe since it is included in the hotel stay here at the a.Venue Suites in Makati. Service is great, food is ok, and the Tang is delightful. I braved drinking the water yesterday. I was so thirsty and was like, what the heck, hand over the water. The first day we left all of the water goblets untouched. I thought to myself we are drinking the Tang, made of the same water, right?

Anyway, then by 10am we are out the door and in a car. Since there are 5 of us we usually have to find an SUV or van. For the first two days we had Tony as our driver in his Benz, then yesterday we took a number of services. Then today, we had Juhn and his Toyota Revo. He took us to the National Museum of the Philippines, Intramuros and Fort Santiago for a little culture lesson today. The sights were great, although, seeing anything here is brand new, even if it is McDonald's.

It was a pretty hot day. The museum was a beautiful building in Ermita. It was huge too. There were 5 floors. Most exhibits did not have A/C. But we lived. It was a nice experience. Then we went to Intramuros which is a walled city that the Spanish built during their occupation. It was a very pretty place. The heat prohibited us from walking around for long amounts of time so the driver came in handy. We still did a good amount of walking at Fort Santiago though. This is where the famous Rizal monument is. There were also a lot of fort structures there too.

When we got back to Makati we enjoyed a 2:00 o'clock lunch at the Antel Lifestyle Center. Then we split up for some girl/guy time. The boys went to grab some drinks while Joyce and I had $2 manicures. My nailbeds look great! They spend about 5 minutes per finger. We even took a snooze while they pampered my hands. It didn't help that they threw a towel over Joyce because she was cold and a towel over both of our heads so we could sleep. How nice of them.
