Days out
When we have to do something and travel into the city, it takes a while. My god, everything takes a while here. The Las Pinas traffic is terrible. When it gets bad, the traffic wardens will stop traffic in one direction while they allow the opposite direction to take up three lanes. But this causes a problem because they all need to merge back into two lanes after a while. The whole area quickly becomes gridlocked.
When traffic is bad all over, a one hour trip via taxi can take three hours. While in the taxi, I try to get some shots out of the window. There was a terrible storm brewing when I took the following shots.
Whenever we go out, we try to grab lunch somewhere that Ian can write about for DiscoverPh.com. Yesterday we went to a lovely spanish restaurant where we were in our own private room surrounded by bottles of wine. It was basically a temperature controlled wine storage room with a single table. It was very romantic.
This section of the mall is outside and has a very nice jungle. It is such a treat to eat in these surroundings.
When the food came, it looked absolutely amazing. I wont blab on about it because I do not have the same linguistic skills that Ian has. Click here to view the post she made about this great restaurant.
Here are all the photos of the restaurant and food:
