Day Trip

We decided to do something different than go to the grocery store on our p-day. We took a day trip to find a embroidery factory, a paper mache' factory and a woodcarvers home. We didn't find the first 2 but found the woodcarver, however he had no inventory and his catalog was in Manila with his son. So we struck out. 10 hours later we were tired but had spent almost no money and the company was good. Eldon and another Elder choose not to go and after hearing we failed he was very happy he stayed home.

It is always fun to see the smaller towns outside Manila, less traffic, less pollution and less scary.

More trike traffic and less Jeepneys and cars

A popular way of carrying goods. You see people all the time using their heads to carry their goods.She has turnips.

Another fruit stand we stopped at. We got lots of fruit so our day was not a total waste.
