12th May, En-joy!

As We are leaving tommorow a ‘party’ was organised were all our relatives came over and basically ate and drank all day. That pig tasted good. Ate pretty much all of it. It was a case of ‘try this, its a traditional philipino food’ So as I was drinking (san miguel light – yea I know slightly gay but…) I tried these rather tasty meats. Anywho found out later that it was the pig’s head and that it was pretty much its snout and ears. Then the special sauce which I thought was some kind of milk based sauce was its blended brain…It was nice though. That and the pigs blood based sauce which is only black pudding really.

It was nice to be around the Dingle clan which is huge. Cousins down the street and no one tells me their names so I never no who they are. I can see were my drinking and smoking and general ‘enjoy’ attitude comes from. My uncles are all complete drunkards…

Found out that my great grandfather apparently owned a huge chunk of land here but apparently lost it all through alcohol or something.

It was good talking to the Mormon missionaries. Or the Church of Jesus Christ and the ‘latter day saints’. Basically following the bible but apparently there are modern day prophets with us today who have continued the church – hence the name. Anyway it was good just to speak english without putting on an accent.

Finally my bites are going down. Only becuase I sleep with baggy trousers and and socks. I’m taking no chances even thugh I have a mosquito net.
