Thursday we didn't have time to go out.
Walt packed his things and we headed to Ruth's sisters house.
Walt, my new brother in law Joshua,
my new nephews CJ and Bern and I played basketball. Basketball is
serious business even if they play it wearing flip flops or thongs.
After b'ball Jun and Timothy my other
new brother in laws took Walt and I to Yakan village. It is a sect
of Muslims that still weave and make things like bags, shirts the old
way and in traditional fabrics and designs. Everything was so cheap
but well made. I wanted to buy the whole village.
When they spotted me taking photos of the village a
lady came up and said OH an American can I take your photo? Sure. Another lady runs up WAIT let me take one to. Before I knew it there
was a small group gathering to take photos. I said hey this is my
adapted family, I mean adopted family who knows maybe they have
adapted to my jokes. I said on the count of three everyone says USA
Yakatan. After all the photos with me it was Walt's turn, another
American more smiles and photos.
For our lunch we went back to the house
and they served goat, poor goat is was so cute before the slaughter
glad I didn't make friends but it was tasty.
After the lunch it was time to take
Walt to the airport. Words donn't do justice to how thankful I was
that Walt came and stood up on my behalf. Everything was successful.
He got to experience the Filipino way of life, we showed him around
and was part of the blessing.
After the airport went back to Ruth's
sister so they could have a family meeting. I played cards with my
new nieces and nephews. Uno and a card game called 1 2 3 pass. We
had so many laughs, it was silly fun.
