Day 14

Rina's whole body was hurting due to the "low-impact" yoga she did yesterday with her auntie Aix.  We called the states to greet our moms, aunts and grandma a Happy Mother's Day.  We just stayed home (again for me) today and swapped stories and channel surfed.  It was a good day to stay back as the weather looked foul.

We just finished dinner when Aix came home and hurried in calling my name, apparently, she was parking the car and saw a balut vendor.  I came out and ordered a balut and penoy each for everyone in the house as this will be my first instance to try it again since the last time I was here - given that we are staying near the balut capital of the Philippines and we've already been here for 14 days!  I also want to see Rina see it up close and personal.

Below are a blow-by-blow shot of "how to enjoy a balut"

Crack rounded end of the egg and create a small
opening to sip out the tasty "juice" - salt to taste

Open the egg completely...

and enjoy!

Rina just went for penoy but promised that she will try balut before flying back.
