Well its time to let everyone know about the restaurant that our cousin is building out front of our house. We do not have a date that it will open yet, but it’s progressing nicely. Supposedly somewhere around my birthday (18 Jan) it will open. Being Filipino, that could be way before or even way after. They run on Filipino time. I’ll keep y’all up to date on the opening date. I’ve been taking pictures of the progression. I got them a little out of order, but I’m sure y’all can figure it out. They are suppose to have beer (P45 SMB)(P55 Red Horse)(P55 SML), preliminary prices and I told them it needs to be ‘very’ cold beer. They agree. Also I think I’ve got them talked into making sure there are some types of food that foreigners eat more of, like fried chicken and even burgers. Lita even plans to make the dynamite sticks to sell through the store. We’re not sure of the price of those yet.
hope you get the restaurant finished soon. have a happy birthday and don’t drink to much.
once summer comes me and my wife plan on taking the ferry over there. need to wait on rainy season to pass.
we will be traveling to Washington state for a month 14 march and will return here to sorsogon on 15 april. wife has a sister there. and with round trip tickets for 2 people only costing $1,252.00 total for both that includes all taxes fees and $70.00 travel protection incase we would need to cancel.
I was told tonight that the restaurant probably would not be done until around mid-March. I will have a happy birthday as long as I’m still breathing and healthy. I won’t be drinking too much for sure. Still waiting on a visit from you so whenever you can, we’ll be here waiting unless we win the lottery, then we’ll be traveling a lot more. Have fun in Washington. I’ve only been there once and that was only at the airport. When we win that lottery, we’ll visit it more thorough.
I have been watching your videos and reading your blogs I will be coming to Calbayog about the 18th of January Actually, I am coming to visit friends in Tinambacon I am well past retirement age and exploring the possibility of retiring somewhere near there.
Well it does take some adjusting to living here, but it’s mostly nice and it’s pretty inexpensive. I know a couple of people in Tinambacon, maybe it’s someone I know. The 18th of January is my birthday, so maybe that will be good luck for you … or not. I hope you like it here. Let me know if I can do something to make your trip a little easier.
Good luck with the restaurant.
Hope to visit in july.
Our 60 foot boat done accept for outriggers and putting in diesel engine.
House on island almost 60% done
The restaurant will be slightly delayed due to the father of the man building it dying. After the traditional 40 day waiting period they have here in the PI, it will be restarted. It’s looking like February or early March for the grand opening right now. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t be up and running by July when you get here. Stop by and I’ll let you buy me a beer or two.
Well lets get that house done. At least you have a boat to go back in forth in.
