Street Justice

It was a beautiful Mother’s Day morning.  Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers in the world!

This young girl paddled out with a cape on.  We were confused.  Is this the new style?

A monk seal relaxing in the sand this morning.  Did you see the viral video of the tourist throwing a rock at a monk seal on Maui?  A local guy beat up the tourist guy pretty bad and now the local guy is being called a hero.  In Hawaii, we call it “Street Justice.”

The night I got to Manila, I was lost at midnight.  Walking around the streets late at night looking for a place to stay.  It’s pretty scary but you can’t act scared or you’ll be a target.  So act local if possible.

Then when you finally get a room, you will be relieved.  This room was so cheap!

Yes, there was a car accident right where I was walking.  I sat there thinking I’m glad I wasn’t walking there 2 minutes earlier.
