A hell of a trip!
BUT…
Sometimes surprises happen, and sometimes it can be great.
Flying to the Philippines for the first time I could never imagine how interesting this country can be. The biggest catholic country in the world, former US military base, colonized by Spain. The country is a paradise when considering beaches, however I had no time to go to any (Sometimes you have to work), however I could enjoy a little bit of history by going to Intramuros, the historic side of Manilla.

In the Philippines I could also tried some authentic Japanese food, which was really tasty.

On the way back from Philippines to USA I had a connection in Seoul, South Korea. I was expecting just a simple connection, however ICN airport is the second best airport in the world, and yes, the airport is great, and besides the comfort, agility and great services, the airport offers a free tour to some places. Being a History lover, I went to the Jeondeungsa Temple, from the 4th century. The place was breathtaking, not only for the beauty but also because it was -15C.

After the long connection I flew to Houston, and over there found out that a big running event was coming to Houston, It was the first time I ran 15K, now the next target is 21k.

Finally, I had another training week in Orizava – Veracruz MX. A very nice historic city with a huge Spanish influence. Some of the best restaurants I have ever been to are located in Orizaba.

Vinuela
Vinuela is a municipality in Southern Spain – not too far from Malaga.
Apart from the scenery the area is dominated by a large man made reservoir known as Lake Vinuela. I believe it was made about 50 years ago by damming local rivers.
