Traveling is hard and sometimes you miss home. I’ve been in the Philippines for a few days now and I’m loving the experience and getting to hang out with Christel again but once in awhile I need breakfast from home. Our hotel here in Baler is really nice with a beautiful pool and free surf lessons in the ocean provided by the hotel. There’s a breakfast buffet each morning and a breakfast menu to order from that’s included in our rate and I actually love having rice and barbecue pork for breakfast filipino style but today I really really want potatoes. I take a shot and order and ‘American’ Breakfast and I’m finding that when I do this, it just makes me laugh. I just wanted some hash browns but this version didn’t quite hit the spot for me. Breakfast sausage is also apparently very American because this is not what a breakfast sausage is to me. While different, it was still a good breakfast, just a little miss from breakfast at home.
