Baguio trip to see a CCTV camera installation and did a little sightseeing while we were at it.

This is what the Vendor Anixter wanted us to see.  The monitor and the cameras and what they showed.  We are installing new cameras and monitors here and this vendor wanted to show us where they are presently installing their products.

 The Mangos here are absolutely wonderful and I bought a few. Elder clicked away.

 Al and I and Zack (the vendor) and his daughter Diane in front of the Mansion place where the President vacations. It is much like Camp David for the US President.
 We had to shoot a picture of this Jeepney with our son's name on it. Look closely at the tires.  They are all bald this way. This shot was taken from the back of the jeepney we were riding in.

 This little boy was peeling a Jicama and just grinned as we took his picture
 Good looking boy at the wet market
 These lei's of flowers are for graduates.  Zack our guide said that they itch a lot when worn.
All kinds of tropical flowers are sold here at the wet market

Breakfast at Camp John Hay Manor
 Fresh fruits and Vegetables are so in abundance here in Baguio
 This is the Sister Amy who approached me and said, "What are you looking for Sister?" She is a member and has these wood carved things for sale right on the street.Her granddaughter had to get in on the picture as well.
 This is a carved Lion's head out of a huge rock.  It is being cleaned and painted.
Manor Camp John Hay where we stayed in Baguio
We had been invited to take a trip to Baguio by a prospective vendor of CCTV camera system and ended staying the night at the Camp John Hay Manor. It was informative and productive.  We saw a few sights and did some vegetable shopping at the Baguio outdoor wet market.  We also had a taxi take us to a wood carving area where wood carved items are being sold.  Once there we walked to a couple of stores and then was approached by a very small woman named Amy who said "Sister, what are you looking for?"  I started to tell her and then I realized she addressed me as "Sister".  At first I thought it was because of my name badge but then she said she is a member of the church and it was because of a couple missionary that she was referred to the younger missionaries and she accepted the gospel and was baptized. Her son is serving a full time mission and her children are members.  I  bought a bowl with weaving and a tissue holder.  Then because it was so far away from town and no taxi came that way again we opted for a jeepney to take us back to town.  The ride was great...the experience was awesome.  We did some shopping at a wet market before checking out of the hotel and getting on a luxury bus liner to come back to Manila.
