14 Philippines

 Monday not to much happened. We packed up from the Astoria hotel and headed to Ruth's. After some confusion because we couldn't find a room for me we settled on the guest room at her church.

 It was perfect for me, well it did lack a toilet seat and a shower, but the room was quiet and had air.

Ruth later came with barbeque pork and rice. Wow was it tasty!

 I slept pretty good finally little to no noise of the traffic but still woke up at about 5 am from the roosters announcing ITS MORNING! And then the turkey got into the act, yes they have a turkey. You just can't escape the noise.

Tuesday quiet day. I had computer issues so we went across from the church grounds to have it checked. They got my wifi corrected. It cost me 150 pesos - 43 pesos to 1 US dollar.  Ruth picked out a nice place for dinner.  Palmaras.  Wonderful decor and food, terrific place for a date or night out.  http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g580109-d793741-r95834211-Palmeras_Restaurant-Zamboanga_Mindanao.html  We had the seafood platter and ordered calamari as an appetizer.  We didn't understand the guy and visa versa.  The seafood platter already had calamari on it so we had WAY TO MUCH calamari.
