Angona Petroglyphs and Tak Tak Falls

 Our first zone outing since we arrived was away from Manila.  We drove along the Pasig River and saw the very poor.  Many of these little homes are still filled with water.  Someone said, "Their homes float away in the floods and as soon at they can find something to make a wall or roof, they put up another little shack.  Maybe something that belonged to a neighbor.  Maybe something better, maybe worse.  Until the next flood comes and it floats away again."

 In many barangay, they are very happy to have running, potable water.  There is sometimes a community pump where everyone comes and fills their bottles and buckets so they have water for the day.

 Don't you just love Senior Missionaries!  Everyone is pointing out something 

for someone else to see!  It was a beautiful view of Angona though!

 Our chapels are beautiful.  You can just see the white roof of our chapel here!

 We saw the very poor then on top of this hill, we saw some beautiful homes.  

Here you see the beautiful landscaping around the veranda of one of those homes.

 We went to see the Angona Petroglyphs.  They are the oldest found in the Philippines.

Here are about half of the couples in our Zone.  The two Sisters in the front are the 

only single missionaries in our Zone.

 Finally!  My very first trike ride.  I didn't last on the back very long though as I made 

the trike "bottom" heavy and I had to move to the side and ride behind the driver!

 "Turtle or lizard" - Holes in the stone are make by birds.

 "Adult and Child" - These were found by some scouts on an overnight camp. 

 They excavated underneath and found stone tools. 

 We left there and went to Tak Tak Falls. We decided to take the "walking" path next to the 

would be easier on our "elderly knees.'  

 

What a mistake!  The path was covered with

 slippery moss and we had to hang on for dear life!  I thought I was

 going to do the splits here!

 The falls were very beautiful!

 We had a wonderful picnic lunch then headed back to the city! We sat by 

Elder and Sis. Fleming who are in Angi's Ward in Cochrane, AB, Canada!

 It looks like Roger is standing in front of a picture but it's real!!!

As we left the Tak Tak Falls, we found that we were right at home!  

They were located in Barongay De La Paz! (Our name in Spanish!)
