Masbate was a town where people had places to go and things to do! People were busy and moving! We arrived on New Year's Eve and everyone was getting ready for the big celebration. Some were even starting early with fireworks.

This is the entrance to the port where the commercial boats tied up - both passenger and freight.

We anchored out where there was another sail boat anchored and he showed us where could obtain a safe tie up for our dinghy.

This man up on the balcony has as his business the watching of your dinghy so that everything is safe. He's paid a small amount for each boat.

We had to walk along a little alley way on the way to the main town and along the way we passed several houses on stilts.

Walking down the alley we spied some folks preparing a pig for the spit! The slaughtering had just occurred in this yard.

Another man was building a room onto his house.
