I went out for a walk this afternoon.  I seem to have a case of the blahs and am just tired.  “Could be the heat, or maybe it’s fleas!” as the song in West Side Story sang.  We’ll I don’t have fleas, but I’m finding the heat very heavy especially after our island cruising where, on some mornings, I wore my long-sleeve Red Sox shirt.  And life in a big city is “big.”  I will try to get to the museums and mosque and those things should be interesting.  People are certainly very friendly here and quite energetic, more like China than Olongapo. Funny, that I’m always ready to leave somewhere, and then miss it.  Hmmm

Anyway, I just walked around the hotels here in the Sutera Harbor complex; but I took my camera.  I was really glad I did so I could capture this group of young women.  I don’t know why I didn’t talk with them more; I felt like I was interrupting and they seemed hesitant in English    Now I wish I had found out more about them.  Maybe I will see them again.

I saw them in the distance and tried to zoom.  Then I just walked faster to catch up and snuck some photos.

I just liked the “hands on the hip” action. The man was one of two who were accompanying the women.

They sat down to have their photo taken by one of the women and I walked over and asked if I could take a photo too.  They smiled and said yes.

  They make the peace sign, just the everyone else anywhere else who poses for me.

Any you knew this would happen.  I had offered to take their camera and take a photo of the group so all the women could be in it.  But they made the men take the photo so I could be in it too!  At least I have my head covered!
