Dolphins, Killer Whales, and Sea Lions


On Monday, we met up with all of the Faith Manila middle schoolers and everyone else, so there were about 260 of us altogether. We road buses for four hours and arrived at Ocean Adventure.

It was here that we all were able to see the coolest Dolphin and Killer Whale show! The dolphins were doing crazy flips in the air and could skid backwards on water, like Michael Jackson doing the moon walk. The killer whales would take their trainers on fun swims and also do huge jumps in the air.

Later that day, a few of us went to a Sea Lion show. For those of you who do not know what Sea Lions are, they are like Seals but can walk much better. These creatures were very smart and imitated their trainers in every activity--we had some good laughs!

Later that day, all of us guys had some fun wrestling in the water at the beach. I ended with a few scrapes and scratches, as you can imagine!

We ended the day at the base camp at Subic Bay, which is an old U.S. military base--it was used a lot during World War II and the Vietnam war. But, it is now occupied by the Philippines instead of the U.S. government. The students had fun giving creating "Squad" introductions to each other!
