Feeding Frenzy

We took Grandma and Aunt Cheryl to feed the fish at the Lagoon last night. It's a man made pond thing in front of the provincial building where people tend to gather and spend some time together, run and feed the fish. For 20php (50¢) you get a bag of a dozen small bags filled with pellets of coloured fish food. The people that sell the fish food line the entrances of the lagoon along with their snacks. These type of little stands are all over the Philippines especially downtown and outside of the school grounds selling their snacks, hair clips and other random odds and ends.
After purchasing our fish food from a cute little girl helping her mom we went into the lagoon and started ripping open our little bags of fish foods and the feeding frenzy began. The fish seem to know that when someone approaches the railing that food is coming and hundreds of these fish start flipping around on the suface of the water fighting over the pellets that we were throwing at them.

Whenever we go out to places like this we usually get a little bit of extra attention or stares but we have been able to get used to it a bit. I tend to just look beyond everyone so I don't notice and Ryan sometimes will just stare right back and start a staring contest which the Filipino usually wins. I got a picture of a cute little boy who was looking like he'd never seen a little white kid before, which I'm sure he hadn't'; big eyes and jaw dropped.
After we were finished with all the fish food we walked around the lagoon, where we stopped for a few minutes at the playground, ran after a tiny cute kitten and made our way past the provincial building and back to the car just in time for bed. It was a really nice way to spend that lull of time in between dinner and bedtime.
