Kids are all alike. Here are two little Mormon girls.

The tricycle drivers know the meeting schedule and are there waiting when the members are ready to go home. A trip costs about 7 pesos, about 15 cents, if you go a regular route. If you need to go far, the price will double or triple. A jeepnie costs about the same, but jeepnies usually only go on established routes, so you may not get all the way to where you want to go. For some families, the cost of going to and from church is too much, so only father comes one week; mother the next, maybe with a child or two.

So then we get to take the same trip home, usually takes longer because the streets and markets are busier. But we live in a good neighborhood.


And some places are actually beautiful.


Just had to put this little guy in just so you could smile.
