Are you sure it was just mud? That storm looks a little scary...

Native pigs are better tasting but take nearly twice as long to grow to market size.

A small bowl of chicken feet for a snack while we drink a 4 x 4 of gin.

I've put forth serious effort but still have not become drunk enough to try the chicken feet.

The alternate booze of choice has recently been Bacardi 151 Rum. It's a boatload more expensive but the locals try to drink it straight as they do the Pinoy gin and it hammers them amazingly quickly.

Good question.

The first time I noticed pigs in the sidecar I had completely missed the shot.

Then after snapping every passing vehicle for a few hours stumbled across this one.

That one that I missed had 2 pigs about that same size in the tricylcle which would have made it a much better pic.

Maybe they get the pigs a little drunk to soften them up for the trip to market? I'd surely like to talk to one of those drivers.

Now that the road is passable doesn't mean that it's back to normal. Somehow I imagined that everything would be fine not just passable but the roads are still very rough in areas and you can look out at the mountainsides and see plenty of mudslides that didn't affect homes or traffic
