The area that I am living in now is called Vista Mar. Yes very close to Vista Del Mar, or Vista Del Vista. I think at one time this was proposed or someday still might be an area of big nice homes. Today there are three houses, a new hotel, and there is a small resort about 100 yards down the street. The swimming pool at the resort is open to the people who are living/staying here in the community. I am in a duplex. Nothing fancy, just the necessities that are close to my heart, very clean and well air conditioned.
Outside of my air conditioned lodgings I have tried to stay as average as possible. Meeting and talking with all that are willing to speak to me. Shopping at the local grocery store. Eating from the street when told its safe to eat.(Avoiding Dog and Cat) Average Joe and Josephi
ne are always a little surprised when I say hello to them, or even more surprised when i give a big smile and come over and shake there hand, and say good day! Many here have never met or even seen an American. Especially one as "Pink" as me. A lady asked in the native tongue why I was so "pink"?
So the pictures that I posted today are just some common average things here in the Philippines or more specifically in Cebu. I'm not sure if the rest of the country is cooking in a kitchen such as the
one shown here, but I would bet most are. The fuel for cooking is wood, many people sell the small bundles of dried wood along the side of the road. I have not had the opportunity to eat from this kitchen yet, but I do look forward to this
coming Sunday, where a celebration will take place. And to all you "foodies" out there, I have heard from many that some of the most delicious food comes out of this kitchen. Lick your lips.....
