Thanks for reading, Gina! & Wisconsin can be very far. (Drove there many a time when my composer/musician/producer was studying at Lawrence U. ;-D )

I too went on a father-seeking journey…but only as far as Wisconsin, not across the globe into another culture. I hope to read more of your experiences. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Vicki, Thanks for reading! & can you believe that this trip, arranged by friends at Ágúman Sínúpan Singsing and in Macabebe/Masantol, happened to fall on February 29, my father’s birthday?—at least that is as far as I can tell from documents: they show 2/28, 3/1 and 3/3 . . .
