 |
| A Victory Liner Bus In the top, of the window it says "Ordinary Fare". That means no airconditioning. The peolple hang out the windows. |
 |
| The saddest looking Filipino dog we saw. |
 |
| Most of the dogs are strays, anyway they are not fenced in. They are on the side of the road or in the middle of the road. They protect the people in their homes because their barking warns them when they are being robbed. |

 |
| Table and chairs. |
 |
| Tri-level fruit basket anyone? |
 |
| Trike driver taking a siesta. Filipino people like having their picture taken. His bed is under all the baskets. Can you see the mortorcycle handles? |
 |
| These brooms are great for the tile floors we have here. |
 |
| Child's chair |
 |
| Mango tree. The Filopinos cover the mangoes with bags made from newspapers, to keep the buggs off. |
 |
| I am so intrigued by these basket bikes. These baskets are on a motorcycle with a side car. Can you see the hampers, grass broom, oval chairs and child chair, and hammock? This is the wife of the driver, I think. |
 |
| See the motorcycle, his pots and pans that he cooks with, his water jug, and the hammock whichhe sleeps in. |
 |
| See the convoy of basket bikes? I am amazed at how ingenius the Filipino people are so they ca make a living. |
