Day 41 Manila, Philippines (Part 3 of 3)

As I continue….  We finished up the markets, successfully dodging heavy rain showers until the sky really opened up and we had torrential rains…  We go into the middle of the housing built by squatters, by accident.  It was a little communication problem with our wonderful driver.  We wanted to see villages on stilts as we saw in Brunei, Shanghai. Hong Kong and Malaysia and here is h we ended up… it certainly was interesting.  Then the rains became so heavy it was time for a new plan.  We decided to stop for lunch and ride out the storm.  It turned out to be a great strategy…  We walked out after lunch to a sunny day…. We went back to see some houses on stilts before calling it a day.  In the evening I got together with some old friends who worked at the front desk on previous world voyages…  It was great to see Jen, Jinkee & Jonie again.  What a fabulous day!!!!
