Silliman Unversity, Dumaguete City -

(If my grammar or spelling is off, please bear with me because as I type my post I have to do it quickly for fear of rolling black outs.)

Peter and I met Bootsie at the Bethel Hostel right in town and across from the Boulevard. As soon as she was free we took a pedicab to the jeepney stand for Zamboanguita. Our itinerary was Malatapay.

Malatapay is a happening place every Wednesday. This is the place where all vendors come to sell their wares, their produces, their animals. This is also the place where tourists can take a small pump boat to go to Apo Island. And for locals to hang out in rented huts and cottages along the beach. There were so much stuff being sold. Mostly food, dried salted fish, fresh seafood and wares for the house. Right near the beach are small covered places that offer fresh seafood for lunch. The three of us chose one place and had puso - rice cooked in a small coconut leaf woven basket-type, fish soup, grilled fish and lechon - roasted pork. The food was cheap and fresh and yummy!

After lunch we headed back home to Maslog as Bootsie needed to get ready for her two party engagements that day. Boots is the local party clown. I'll upload the pictures of her and Gaga all dressed for the party and riding a red pedicab - as soon as the connection is faster and better (which might take a while.)

The rest of the day was just spent relaxing at the Payag.

Then dinner was at Aunty Grace and Uncle Joel's house. A delicious seafood dinner.
