Will picked up Edward P. Jones at the Ambassador's residence and brought him to the Manila International Airport at 5:00 AM. "Any quotable quotes?" I asked Will later. "No," Will replied. "That's what happens at 5:00 AM."
Oh, well, this is not the end. Like the heart in Titanic this blog site will go on and on.
Goodbye for now, EPJ! Thank you for embracing the Philippines and for your stories of poverty and oppression. We embrace you back!
We know that we shall meet again soon.
E-mail message from Will sent at 12:24 PM:
"This morning, I saw Mr. Jones safely off at the airport. It was a long visit, and we worked him to the brink of exhaustion, but on the whole it went very well.
"Thank you to everyone who helped make the visit a success.
"Cheers,
"Will Cocks
Assistant Cultural Affairs Officer
U.S. Embassy Manila"
