a day in the life

Here is a community (barangay) that is a 7 minute walk from Andrey and Jen's house. So many people live in dwellings such as these.
Cebu and the Philippines is a land of great contrasts. Lou and I are enjoying a latte at one of the Starbucks just five minutes' drive from Jen and Andrey's house.

Andrey staying connected with his workplace from home. Jenifer enjoying one of her favorite things, kept for special occasions such as Christmas and new year times.
Next time we publish a post will be in 2009. Happy New Year! Will keep you up to date on our celebrations.

Hi Guys,
Happy New Year! We're still have about 8 hours of 2008 left! Expecting a blizzard tonight! Lots of snow and winds. Nothing like starting 2009 off with a bang!

Enjoying your pictures. We are so blessed in our corner of the world. Love to both of you!

Hi Friends,
Well, we're about 9.5 hours away from 2009 and I've got the portzelkys on the go. But first, we want to join in the Happy New Year wishes for you, Marilyn and Lou and Andrey and Jen of course. Love your pictures. The contrasts are amazing - Starbucks has made great inroads wherever possible and poverty exists alongside - over there but I'm guessing over here in the West as well - not as much or as obvious.
God bless and keep you in His safe care always!
Love and best wishes from both Al and me, alice :)
