Philippines Trip: Out in Town

Here are some other sights from our time in Dumaguete. We were told that each area has their own version of a "Jeepnee". Here in Dumaguete, you can ride what is called a "Tricycle". It is a converted motorcycle with a side car. They serve as a taxi. We even saw some that had like 10 people on them- no kidding!
Many of the taxi's had "God Bless Us or Bless our Way". It is the prayer you want to pray when you drive there.

We got to go out in town to the market area. It was very lively, with many sights, sounds and smells!
Here Becky is preparing us as we walk through the butcher area. Imagine raw meat with no refrigeration on a hot day! Quite the experience.
Across the street was the world famous Filipino chain, "Jollibee's". Unfortunately, we didn't get to go inside and try any. We'll have to do that next time! :)
