As in Wet Wednesday Walkers. Hate to sound like a broken record, but it is still raining. By my count, that’s seventeen straight days. Oh well, life goes on rain or shine.

Nothing special about last night. A couple of drinks at Dive In. Just not the same for me without Jessa there. Then I had my usual good time with Roan for company at It Doesn’t Matter. And of course, it being “Wingsday” I hit up The Pub for some takeout dinner goodness.

I’m sure Buddy loves me, but the selfish bastard stole my nap spot.
Sometimes it feels that way. Although I don’t eat grapefruit. And I can live without the chips. Ice cream, not so much.

But that’s why I walk, so let’s get to it. As I said, it was a wet walk. It didn’t rain all the time, but lately, we’ve been having heavy downpours accompanied by strong winds. Makes an umbrella pointless. So, I was soaked early and stayed that way for the duration. We took a Jeepney to Waltermart in Subic, then walked the 7K home to Barretto on the back streets. See for yourself:

The WalterMart. I wonder if Ray Walton would approve?
Our hardy group of Wet Wednesday Walkers.
Let’s get this show on the road, or in this case, the National highway.
The backroads of Subic town…
Leaving Subic behind…
A short walk on the Govic highway…
On the road to Naugsol…
Easter mountain shrouded in rain.
Preparing the fields for planting…
Rice doesn’t grow on trees after all… Not sure if you can tell in this photo, but it is pouring down rain at the moment.
Taking some brief shelter from the storm.
Shall we gather at the river?
Time to leave the pavement behind.
On the bridge…
And over the river.
No bridge over this stream…
But Helen didn’t need one…she has Ed.
Scott stepped in a mud hole and it sucked his shoe right off his foot…
It’s nice in rice…
Perhaps this photo will shame me into doing a better job at losing that belly…
Erosion is a real thing. Who knew?
The carabao whisperer…
“You looking at me?”
What carabao?

Anyway, it was a good hike despite the wet conditions.

I might have some news tomorrow about a new business coming to town. Stay tuned.

I’ll leave you with this illustration of getting the most value for your money:

Talk about bang for your buck!
