New Years Eve
A promised lunch with a couple of our favorite missionaries.
Elder Oyler and Elder Cava.
Such a fun time and a treat for both of us! We love Shakey's Pizza!
Then off to party in
the BIG CITY!
We met Morello's, Whittakers, Schlagers and Sheffer's to ring in the new year.
We spent the night in Eastwood. This was taken in front of Johnny Rockets. They had fun things to do for all ages. A huge stage was set up with a Filipino "star" singing live. All kinds of noise makers, things we have never seen. The firework display was spectacular!
NEW YEARS DAY...CORRIGEDOR ISLAND!
On the FERRY going to the island.

The tree to the left is a war victim itself. See the large cement fragment wedged into the trunk? It's a scar the tree has borne since 1942!
Huge cannons placed in strategic areas aimed to protect the Island. Notice the pitted exterior from the power of other enemy bombs.
One of the many underground tunnels. We were able to walk through one and learned that some soldiers and nurses lived in them for over eight months never to see the light of day.
American and Filipino Soldier Statue. Someone asked which one was the Filipino? The guide said, "The shortest one!"
The Corrigedor Flag.
Some name tags found of fallen soldiers. Some are torn up with bullet holes.
A US Soldier carrying a Filipino girl to safety.
This light house is in use today. The windows are made of capice shell. It's a great view from the top.
