27Jun2025 - This is turning into a journal/journey-down-memory-lane thing. I'm looking through my old photo albums, and at the same time, other memories and thoughts are popping up in my mind. This is what old(er) people do, yes? 9May2025 - I decided to leave FB, and just share my photos etc here. Thank you to the special people who check in here...(7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.)

79% of Filipinos are Catholic. The Spaniards, with a bunch of priests in tow I guess, came back 40-50 years after the village chieftain Lapu Lapu killed Magellan. I was looking at the number of Buddhist temples on a Cebu city map just now, and there are 5 temples. The "Cebu Taoist Temple" is the most popular one. Lots of tourists go there. Note the small tiles by one of the "Fo Guang..." temple gates. These tiles, mostly blue ink images of Jesus and Mary on white tiles, adorn entry ways of many homes here, and some Buddhist temples.
