One of Evelyn's friends from college Micmic invited us to visit her families banana plantation and other holdings thery have or have a business relationship with. We went to Sto. Tomas, Mindanao which is about a 60-90 minute drive north east from Davao City. One thing that suprised me is that this area is fairly remote but the roads to get there were very good. Not like what we have here in terms of freeway, but like well maintained limited access highways.
The people we met there were very friendly.
I must say, Micmic and her family were wonderful hosts. They were amazingly attentive to our needs and generous with their time and resources.

There are almost no tourist because people prefer to go to thailand rather than Mindanao in the Philippines big mistake.
Even many Philippinos don´t know what a great treasure the Island of Mindanao is .
