OK where was I, oh yeah walking around
with Walt.
We got back and awaiting us at the desk
was a package from Thata. A small box of kutsinta and a small bag of
rice cake. Kucinta is flour, brown sugar molded into round patties
of jello like consistency with grated cheese on top. Rice cakes are
actually like a bun. I was upset about the rice cakes. I never got
to eat all of them. I ate a few and left the bag open. During the
night I ate one and in the morning I opened the bag and they were
covered with bugs. YUCK! If you don't like bugs or roaches maybe
this is not the place for you. Even where we ate lunch, Jolice, I
noticed them.
Ruth came by at 3 to pick us. She
rented a car from Maxwell with a driver to take us around. His name
was Buddy Yugto a former police and owner of the rental car. It cost
us 1,500 pesos for 4 hours. I highly recommend hiring him. Great
personality, he will take you on a nice tour of places to see or take
you where you want to go plus you will be safe with him. He watched
over me and Walt like a hawk.
The first place we went to was
Pavilion Astoria Regency to pay the balance due for the Blessing
ceremony on Wednesday. We arrived and the place was crawling and
surrounded by armed guards with machine guns. The reason was a
Muslim wedding of 2,000. I asked our driver why the guards but he
wouldn't say much other than maybe there to do their dirty work and
they need to be watched. He was hesitant to even say what he did.
