September in Cebu- 2014

The start was a bit of a challenge but look at little Wyatt Norman Evans now. He was born
June 2, 2014

 

 

 

My Father passed away May 2, 2014

This is our street--F. Cabahug

This lady sells odd individual items-candy and cigarettes

 





 

This is our baby (Rianna) and her big sister Lianna who is four years old. They greet us most mornings and Rianna spends a lot of time in the wooden play pen. Often she is having breakfast of white rice with chocolate on it. The street is very busy by 7:30 AM as most people are eating, selling things, cooking, brushing their teeth or just socializing.



 

This little lady a few steps down has her items to sell

 

 

 

 This lady sells us quail eggs--very tasty.

Filippinos are very clean and there is a lot of laundry done daily.

 This fellow is a regular with his tray of candy and cigarettes--one at a time.
 

We meet this street cleaner and although he doesn't speak much English we "hi five" and shake hands

Chris is the house boy at the apartment. He does many odd jobs (washes the cars every day, cleaning the halls, and he fixed our toilet). He is always around.

They are going to move those rocks

 

We thought that this looked a little dangerous but someone on the ground assured us that he had a safety belt--I am not sure if it was attached to the power line or the ladder???

Below are Chinese chickens. They are more fluffy than our chickens. They don't really look like the cock fighting roosters that we see all along the streets.

We see these young fellows regularly as they are on Pres. Roxas street. They say that the project they ware working on will take two years.

From our window at the office FGU building 503

Two different kinds of scaffolding below. The fellows on the bamboo seemed very comfortable and were painting without a hard hat, safety line and usually with flip flops on their feet.

The red scaffolding took days to put up and take down and they had stairs. But I did see one fellow doing sit ups one day -I guess he needed some exercise. Another day one of the fellows was sort of hanging out resting.

 

Any excuse for a parade.

 

 

This is Rianna --she was in the parade with her mother. There must have been thousands of followers and the traffic just patiently waits.

 

This is our regular trip around JY Corner. We buy vegetables at the market and it is one way to get to the temple on Gorordo Avenue.

All little boys love motor bikes

To market to market

These little boys were having a great game. If you notice Clayton the ball is definitely flat. and the net was just a board that kind of stuck out from the roof.

One day in August there was a few dental clinic by Ayala mall in an empty lot. There were a lot of people there.

This is one of the few times that I saw skate boarding--the other was in the church parking lot.

View from the Taoist Temple

It was a rather pleasant walk--about 6 km. The first time I ever saw a horse in Cebu.

 

 or such a customized bike

  

 

 This is Crocolandia in Talisay. It is a  very well kept and interesting collection of crocodiles, birds, reptiles and other animals.

 

 

 

 

 

Everywhere the "haves" and the "have nots" are so evident.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everything that I have seen of Cebu, Olango, Bohol and Toledo are very beautiful and the people are wonderful.
