The last week was another event filled week.
Zone Bowling P-Day Activity
Remember when we used to find an old bowling alley where the pinsetters setup the pins? Welcome to 2016 in the Philippines. The Cabanatuan zone went bowling for P-Day activity. The pins are about 1/3 height. The balls the size of softballs. Paper for scorecards. You get 3 balls per frame--never did figure out how you track spares, strikes or the third ball. But who wants to keep score. Sometimes the balls would hit a ridge in the alley flooring and bounce or head in the different direction. Reminds us of playing croquet on the bumpy lawn. But it was a fun outing.
San Jose Trip
We were inspecting 8 apartments in San Jose on Thursday so we decided to go wednesday afternoon and stay overnight to get started early. It's between 1.5-2 hours drive. We stayed at a fun little Farm House Hotel and Cafe for $34 with breakfast. It even had hot water and TV. The breakfast was the usual hot dog, garlic rice and runny egg so we went to McDonalds. They have an egg McMuffin on a sweet bread roll that is very good for only 49 pecos.
Christmas Comes in September
Starting September 1, the stores are decorating, selling Christmas decoration and playing Christmas Music. Even Christmas songs at church. I guess they don't have halloween or Thanksgiving so why not start Christmas early.
Police
Marked police cars are pretty non existent. We're only seen one person getting a ticket and that was because of an accident. Anyone can have flashing lights. Even trikes often have flashing red and blue lights. Today I was followed by a white vehicle, flashing red/blue lights, hazards and even an electronic siren. Should I pull over? They passed me and it was just some kids in a pickup with a couple in back who wanted to get through the traffic faster.
Hair Cuts
Sister Dansie decided to get her hair cut so Elder Dansie did too. Cost $4.50 each.
