The market

Everybody here goes to the market at 5ish in the morning to get their fish, meat and vegies for the day.  Nobody keeps  food around for more than a day.  It's FRESH

Fresh fish.

 Fresh roasted pig.  This is a delicacy.

 Mmmmmmm.  Eel.

 Iris sniffing the rice before she buys it.  Iris works at Samar National Park and she became our buddy.  We will miss her.

 Duck eggs.... with the ducks still in them.  You suck them out thru the end.  I was not adventurous enough to try this Philippine delicacy.

 Mama Tess (our other buddy) sniffing the mango before she bought it.  Nobody here buys anything without sticking their nose in it first!

 More fresh fish.

 Beef.

 A lovely display of fish.

.Bananas.  Almost everything is displayed on the ground.

Salmonella.

The vegie table.  Their tomatoes do not even compare with ours.  Or their cucumbers.  Ours are WAY more flavourful.
