The ferry boat rides were very relaxing with the purr of the motor and the nice breeze!
Here are a few of our crew.
That was our destination!

Ozamis
This is one of the department stores.
Pigs...no delivery service
We had pulled over to have the air pressure in the tires checked when I heard this pig squealing!
It was making all kinds of noises. Apparently this must have been a pig farm or the distribution site because we saw these 2 parties take off pigs. I love how they just throw the pig on the motorcycle like it is a family member!
Balut
Open it up, inspect the poor little duck who ALMOST saw the light of day or felt the water under his webbed feet.
wikipedia defines the balut as follows:
A balut is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell.
Fertilized duck eggs are kept warm in the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth. After nine days, the eggs are held to a light to reveal the embryo inside. Approximately eight days later the balut are ready to be cooked, sold, and eaten. Vendors sell cooked balut out of buckets of sand (used to retain warmth) accompanied by small packets of salt. Uncooked balut are rarely sold in Southeast Asia. In the United States, Asian markets occasionally carry uncooked balut eggs. The cooking process is identical to that of hard-boiled chicken eggs, and baluts are enjoyed while still warm.
