A new experience....Blind Man Massage

You can't leave the Philippines without being massaged by a blind man. It took me two days to understand that when you heard "Have you had the blind man massage" they really meant....a blind man massages you.
After dinner at the hotel, these two men offered a massage. The little boy led his Dad and Uncle around and was so sweet to them.  He would stay with them during the massage and sit quietly for an hour. Shawna, my friend the post-op nurse, and I opted to do this together. We couldn't decide whether to leave the lights on or off and then laughed....who cares they wouldn't know.

Shawna and I thought it was great and I never thought that I'd be massaged by a blind man after singing Karaoke with an Egyptian and Russian surgeon at dinner.  The girls had a blast.

 The blind men and the little boy- Susan, Emily and Shauna

 Tamer , Egyptian surgeon, and Luca, Italian surgeon. They were singing the Aladdin theme song...badly.

 Ceres, pediatrician, birthday cake. She is so cute and has kids that are my kids age.
Shawna is pictured below happy after the massage.
