11. Flowers in Quezon City

Hi Everyone,

The brownout yesterday lasted about nine hours. Not only did we have no electricity, but we also had no water. The water pressure in the Philippines is very low, so everyone buys water pumps to draw their own water out of the old pipes. If you don't have a pump, you don't get any water because everyone else is drawing the water with their pumps. Even with this, here in Baguio, the water stops flowing periodically. During the brownout, there is no water. When we do have water, we must boil the water first before drinking it.

More on Baguio later. Let's return to our time in Quezon City, which more than provides for our needs.
