This is my "home" in the Philippines although we travel during various phases of the program. Our Long Retreat is done at Novoleces which is outside of the city (we are at the edge of the "city" here at the Ateneo). Our House consists of a few distinct communities: we have a scholastic community (Jesuits in training), an infirmary community, a Fathers' community for those teaching at the school of theology and a tertian community (me and eleven other guys-- pictures to follow!). There is another Jesuit house for Jesuits working at the University, High School and Grade School.
The day I took these pictures was unusually clear and humidity free. This time of year we have thunder storms about every day with a good dose of rain with it. Word is that life gets exciting when "typhoons" blow in from the Pacific. I thought that kind of thing happened only in Robert Lewis Stevenson's novels!
