We were so tired after the rafting activity. Who wouldn't be, especially at our age? Need I remind you that these ladies are all in their 40's...to be exact, 46 and up! Ay, nambuko pa ng edad!
Call time was at 7:00 p.m. The SLT vans were already at the parking lot, waiting for us. I was still in dreamland by then. Melizza (we called her the Bossing!), barged into our room, and shouted, "7'oclock na!" I automatically stood up my bed, not remembering that I took off all my wet rafting get-up before taking a nap, including my undies. So when I stood up in my birthday suit, napanganga lang si Osang at nasabing, "Ay, si Eba!" When I came to my senses, I realized I was already in the shower. Parang lasing! Hahaha!

And so it was polka dots night at Kagay-anon Restaurant. Before taking that power nap at the hotel, I called the resto to order our food. I wanted the chow to be ready as soon as we arrived. Ayaw ko kasi magutom si Cecile, nagsusungit daw siya kasi pag tomjones!
Unfortunately, we still waited for 30 minutes for our pre-ordered food to be served. But at least a long table was reserved for us.

Melizza's hubby and son didn't fly in with us to Cagayan. They flew in from the States the day before, so their flight to CDO was 8 hours later than ours. Thus, they missed the rafting thing-y. Aww, and that explains why her son, Nathan, was dazed all throughout dinnertime.

I chose Kagay-anon Restaurant because they serve exotic local dishes like ostrich meat, kinilaw, and their veggie specialty, pinakbet. The prices were also very reasonable. When you are feeding 18 people at a time, you have to be budget-conscious. I read in a blog that we could book a function room for a consumable price of P4,500. When I called them, however, they said their function room is for P10K minimum. Atras ang lola! Sige, sa labas na lang po kami! Hindi naman kami siguro mag-iingay masyado! Hehehe!
By the way, during this trip, sponsors were assigned to the major meals. For this Polka Dottie night, the sponsors were Osang, Maer, Cecilie, and me. (The total bill was P6,700+)

Our vans were waiting for us to bring us back to Riverview Inn. We had to rush to our rooms and sleep. Our call time for tomorrow? 3:00 a.m. Good luck to us!!!
