A Great Trip to Cebu

Well maybe it is the bad airbnb that has me remembering last week's so fondly, but I doubt it. We had a great week in Cebu.

I really enjoy the city. It is what I like about Manila without all the dirt, pollution, or crime. It is very much a developing city, but it is well on its way to being a major regional hub. It is also just a fun place to hang out.

We arrived on Saturday and met with Yen's older brother and her cousins. We had a great dinner and got caught up.

I also turned 35 there (gulp). On my last day in my early 30's I walked from our place to Fort San Pedro, and Magellan's Cross. Both relics of the Spanish period, and both are very cool.

That night I went to a small brewery called Turning Wheels, which makes some amazing beers that I may have to get for August. On my actual birthday we slept in and had a lazyish day before Yen's brother and cousins came by to pick us up, and we went out for dinner and drinks.

We stayed in Cebu until Saturday, when we left for Panglao (we should have stayed in Cebu, but lesson learned - we had such a great trip in Bohol in 2015).

I'll be back this summer, so hardly a long time away, but I wish I could spend more time there than I will this spring.
