OUR FIRST WHEELCHAIR TRAINING IN LUCENA

  We had only been here one week and we went to Lucena for our first wheel chair training. Lucena is located southeast of Manila. It took us 6 plus hours to get there, not that the distance was that great, the traffic is just that slow.
  It was a fun drive however, going through a lot of small villages. It was the first time I saw the rice fields, corn fields, sugar cane, brahma cattle, and Caribao (looks like a water buffalo). I will share pictures the next time we are out in the country. I wasn't prepared to take photos this time.
  We arrived in Lucena and of course missed the turn. Street signage is poor at best, but usually non-existent. After a u-turn and a little back tracking, we found our hotel.

 

  We stayed at the Queen Margarette Hotel. It was an older hotel, but would have been a very upscale place to stay in its time. Because the Spanish settled here, there is a lot of influence in building styles and even in their language. This hotel is definitely in that style.
  We get a good rest and anticipate what tomorrow will bring.
