Mt. Samat 3

clip_image001  Randal and Carol on the zigzag path. You can see the stones better.  They were underfoot too, though not so stuck out.  It did slow one down.  Good picture of the new hats. 

clip_image002 Not sure if that’s one of the bronze urns in front.  We weren’t able to get anywhere near the front of the building.  Really too bad

See the sign?  Unfortunately the small part of the museum we were allowed into was about as makeshift.  It was quite run down too.  No food, drink, touching exhibits or photos allowed.  You couldn’t really get close enough to the photos to see them or even read the material that went with it.  There was no official start of end point.  Not good.  Too bad. 

clip_image004 We could see the stained glass from a distance. This is with my zoom.  But again, we couldn’t enter the part of the Colonnade to see the windows or much else.  Just the basement museum. Nothing in the booklet explains the window’s images.   Too bad.

clip_image005  Carol set up her tripod for this photo.  Randal and I have the same hats. I think the hanging lines are from the 18 Flag Poles that hold the USAFFE Division/Units colors.  But that’s a guess and I cropped most of it out anyway.    C.C.

clip_image007 This is not a photo taken by Carol. 

While she was setting up her camera I was taking a series of photos of her doing it.  I then tried to take a photo of Randal and me, you know stick the camera out arms length and “click.”  I took all of the photos of Carol setting up her tripod and then added this at the end instead of the photo she took and emailed it to her.  We tricked her into looking at her email while she was on the boat and we all really laughed.  I’m still laughing.

clip_image008  Randal and I wait in the shade while Carol calls her driver to come get us and our matching hats. C.C.

Then it was on to Balanga for an early lunch.
