Our friend Mayleen is a cafe waitress at the nearby AlManzil, where Jon spends a lot of time because of wireless hookup and the quiet atmosphere it has for working. Mayleen has headed home for a month to spend time with her three kids and husband. She is from the Philippines and hasn't been home for three years. Most of the hotel workers are women and from the Philippines. They sign a contract for one visit every three years. There isn't a worker we have met that is single. Most of them are married with numerous children. Can you imagine??
So, we went to say good-bye to Mayleen our friend and babysitter, and wish her a wonderful visit with her family. Fayth made her a homemade card which brought tears to her eyes! She will return at the end of January, we hope!!??!!
You should have seen the HUGE gingerbread house in the cafe...Fayth wanted to touch every nook and cranny!!
