Another installment…

…in the adventure of my life here in the Philippines. Such as it is.

I ended my day yesterday on the Arizona floating bar, drinking ice cold Zeros and watching the sun go down.

***It’s tough work, but somebody has to do it…***

This morning I took a walk along the beach in Barretto. It’s been a few days since I’ve done so and I found this development “interesting”:

***They’ve constructed one of those “floating islands” for the kids outside of the Palm Tree Resort. It’s a boom town here I tell ya…***

I continued up the beach so I could breakfast at the Arizona Resort restaurant.

***I like this “build your own breakfast” menu. Less than five bucks for a nice meal.***

***I had a hankering for a waffle this morning, so that’s what I got along with 3 strips of bacon (each slice counts as an item) and a cup of coffee. Hit the spot.***

After breakfast, I ventured out to find a meat market that I’d been told carried good imported Australian ribeye steaks. The shop where I used to buy my steaks hasn’t had any for over a month. Beef is not really a Filipino thing, the locals prefer pork.

Success! I bought these four for P1000, about five bucks each. Not bad really. I’ve got them marinating now and will grill them up tomorrow. Aussie beef tends to be tougher than I like, but I sprinkled some tenderizer on them too. We’ll see.

Once I got my meat home and squared away, I needed to head back to finish marking the short trail for today’s Hash.

***The tools of the Hare–chalk, powder, and shredded paper.***

Putting those tools to work:

So, the trail is all set now. I’m probably going to go ahead and hike the short one again this afternoon to get some extra steps in.

What else have I got for you? Well, Facebook took me back to my old life in the USA. Seven years ago I fancied myself an aspiring professional darter.
