SCENES FROM THE NIGHT CAFE

Every Friday here in Cagayan de Oro City is NIGHT CAFE... Food stalls are open where people can eat or drink, as well as a night market of inexpensive goods. There are also bands playing as well as therapists, masseurs and many others. Last Friday, I went with V and Jon2x, the staff of Our Lady of Fatima Therapeutic Foundation Clinic and had our simple BBQ dinner at one of the food stalls there.... After we ate, we walked further to check out the therapists that have made business at the Magsaysay Park... So the pictures in the slide show below were taken on our way to eat at the food stall near McDonalds, and the way after our simple dinner.. Lili took most of the pictures... Oh, and do not be bothered by the diggings you see behind the scenes... Those are underground canals projects by the city government... according to someone I heard talking while we were walking around. Another one said that the roads should have been untouched but because it's nearing elections, projects needed to be served.. hmmm.. I don't want to hear anymore... wink..wink...

Our simple dinner cost us P 476... 4 Chicken Wing BBQ (192), 4 "ATAY" BBQ (72), 4 "ISAW" (20), 16 "PUSO" (hanging rice- P 7 each), 2 COKE LITRO (P 40 each litro)

A Camping Holiday in France

My friend Louisse is now officially a resident of France. Well, she had been married to Jaquesse for almost ten years now and they have two lovely boys, who, like their father, is adventurous and sporty. Such an odd family for Louisse, who I always remember to be a non lover of sports or adventures. Before, I remember that she would often shun away from events or happenings that are sporty or adventurous in nature. See, my friend lives in a pace, at her own pace that is. She likes everything in place, no adventure, nothing physical... That's how I remember her. And that's how I have always known her. Funny that her latest email gave me a peek of her new life. WOW! Love can really move mountains. Because just like anyone who loves, Louisse has learned to love the things she never even liked... all because hubby and kids love doing them. My friend is now an official adventure momma, lol... Well, I am happy to hear that.

So anyway, she was telling me that she is busy looking for a car hire France online to make their journey more fun. They are off to go camping along with her cousin's family who came to visit them. They opted for a camping holiday since it is more economical. They need another vehicle for four more people, so they really need to hire one. On top of that, she was the one assigned to get camping equipment and large tents for the camp. She was actually asking me to help her. Which I gladly did. We found car hire at www.easycar.com, camping equipment and tents at www.savebuckets.co.uk. She can definitely save at those sites... I hope they have a grand camping holiday...
