Quick update with some past due post to follow. After a failed attempt to head to Leyte in a bought vehicle, we are back in Manila. Bought vehicle Wednesday afternoon, took delivery Thursday about noon and loaded. We left Manila Thursday about 8:00 pm. After some unexpected difficulties we were back in Manila about 9:00 pm. Saturday we are to get our money back for the car and we have bus tickets bought for Sunday morning. (more on this to follow). We will have some time between now and Sunday morning to do some blog updating. Thank you for following.
