Dinner at the Buenaflor’s

By December 2, 2010 Foodie, Travel 10 Comments

It was so nice to have Pam join the family in Naga!  And because of her, we met the Buenaflor family.  We met one of her best friends who is also named Rica! 🙂

The Buenaflor family invited us over to their farm which is high on top of the mountain and unfortunately we missed the view as we arrived in the evening already and it was dark.

And to my surprise, Rica’s husband is Carlo Buenaflor who I used to work with in Rustan’s long ago when he was still a teenager!  Carlo was a Rustan’s YOUNG VIP model!! And I can’t believe that now he has grown so much and is happily married with 5 children!  

Thank you Tito Jake and Tita Nye for inviting us to your home!
