Mom experiences our everyday life!

Most Filipinos travel by jeepney. This is one of our favorite modes of public transportation. Mom and I took the jeepney to go buy some fruits and vegetables from a small market close to our home. It was a great cultural experience as Mom rode on a typical, crowded jeepney. Some Filipino men gave up their seats so that Mom and I could sit down. (They didn't leave the jeepney, they just rode hanging on the back!) I am really proud of Mommy!!
















At the market there are so many sweet people. Mom and I went and talked to some of the ladies selling meat and vegetables. Here Mom is with some of her new friends! I couldn't get her to buy any pigs feet though! Maybe next trip. : )















If you know Mommy, you know she makes friends with everyone. Here at our condo complex we have guards that keep track of everyone coming in and out and make sure that we all stay secure! (this is typical of most places in the Philippines, just like in many complexes around the USA) We are very thankful for such considerate and kind guards. Mom especially got to know them as she walked our precious Scruffy a lot! : )

This picture was taken on our way home from school. Goats and cows are part of the typical scenery you will see while driving down the road! Mom thought the goats were especially adorable. Here she is trying to make friends with one. He was a little bit shy!!
