24 October 2024 Manila: More Stormy Weather

 



Our jet lag is strong!  We have been sleepy and foggy for the last two days.  We took advantage of the rainy day to get some things we needed to replace.  Lucky for us the mall is just 15 feet away.  A door from the cafe opens up and the mall entrance is just a quick dash away.  We were able to get some mundane items: weekly pill boxes, shorts, facial products, toothpaste, memory card, suitcase locks, rubber bands and sandals.  This mall is gigantic and we ended up getting things we were not sure we needed.  We also found a nice spot for an early dinner, spicy won tons, dumplings, chicken soup and bok choy
