I almost forgot about putting pictures on the blog. Hadn't realized it's been since August! This picture was taken at Christmas. Kids "carol" for you at Christmas, and they want to be paid a peso or two. Mostly they come up to your car while you're waiting at a red light, but thse girls were in the parking lot at Makro (PI version of Costco) when I went shopping. They almost always have an "instrument"...this girl was using the plastic bottle. If I remember right there were some small pebbles inside to make some "music." Sometimes the instrument is a wooden stick with a nail in it that has washers to jingle.
