Wandering around Manila. An excursion to the Manila Hotel and San Agustin Stone Church, with images as we go.
On the way
Filipino Marines. Dress uniforms look familiar?
Amongst its storied history, this was General MacArthur’s WWII headquarters and one of our family “urban legends” is my mother had dinner with him here!
Eggs!
The Champagne Room. The tree is made out of repurposed Coca-Cola cans
Yes, you sticklers, they are off-center, but I still like the image
The Boss in The Boss Chair with her bag of hand-crafted chocolates… and Wilson
Manila has an “interesting” power grid.
Hate to have to diagnose a break here.
Urban Scenics
Urban Transport
KFC and Korea… in the Philippines
Look closely. There is a US Air Force logo behind the rear tire
Horse-drawn bus when reverse is used
Mother Earth
I do not believe this responds to calls anymore.
There are more of these small transports on the streets than you can count
A very popular visiting spot
I realized they were not carved into the fountain when one blinked at me
Beautiful end to the visit
Etc.
A final nod to my mother and the family stories
This is the third of three posts of our day in Manila.
A great and, at times, touching visit.
