IT'S SATURDAY I MUST BE IN....LISMORE

(oooh oooh, I got an even better title for the consular outreach mission we just finished...)

LISMORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES

(Gold)

Our eight-hour road trip and whole-day mission to Lismore was indeed enjoyable, yet actually uneventful - in a good way. While the whole of New South Wales was in the midst of a drought, the cloudless weather at the time made our journey safe and easy, because although this was beautiful river region...


...during last year's outreach mission heavy rains breached the banks and COMPLETELY FLOODED THE TOWN

holy crap, that's the hotel we're staying in

Lismore appears to have bounced back since then, the Fil-com remain in good spirits, and the consular mission went plain sailing...

we didn't even need to break out the mahiwagang keychain for kids

On the way home, we stopped by a town called Ballina because we heard it had an even bigger river... 

"So a boy lawyer and a girl lawyer were walking along the banks of a river. The boy lawyer takes the girl lawyer's hands, looks deep into her eyes, and whispers...'alluvion'" 


...and we also heard that Ballina had OHMYGOD THE STORIES ARE TRUE THERE'S A GIANT PRAWN AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD

we'll hipon coming back
