Karl led us around and showed us how the locals here lived so similarly to those on his mission in El Salvador.
This rooftop is something that was particularly familiar to him.
Local Stores
The Philippine houses were usually more tightly packed together than this, but these shots reflected those housing situations that were more like the mission.
After getting out of the small neighborhood, we entered the shopping center via the overhead walkway. Amongst the beggars was an especially sad sight. Somebody had their very young children sitting at the top of these steps, and the little boy (only 1 year old I’d guess) was naked and crying. The mother was nowhere to be seen, but I’m sure someone was nearby to keep me from picking up the child to bring him home with me and take proper care of him. I gave out breadsticks and meat sticks.
Here is where we ate our lunch. It was Chinese food. Maybe we’ll be more adventurous tomorrow.
My glorified ramen.
Egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and something like a pot-pie.
Jared’s toting a bag from the Robinson’s department store where we picked up that pink rain jacket Ella’s wearing, and some other items. After eating, we checked out the local grocery store, picking up some essentials for our trips.
After the walk home, we watched some of our favorite shows, ordered room-service dinner, and plan to get to sleep early for a full day of Mactan’s White Sands Beach Resort tomorrow!
