I thought maybe someone that spent time at Subic Bay might like to see these pics of the area today. My friend Karl lives there and send me pics all the time......lots of resort hotels, shipyards and other development in the area......
Guns; I will be there waiting with a passel of San Miguel.Sixty years ago we bought it for cigarettes.Six cents a pack,and as a non smoker,this was cumshaw material. In those days only B.M and G.M would drink the warm beer.
My favorite San Miguel was the one I'd buy in the morning at Adeline's, right outside the gate in Cavite. The beer had been on ice all night and was half frozen. Helped with the headache.......
Guns; On my last post I had a question to ask you,as I was there twenty three years before you,it may not have been popular a epicurean delight,in your time. Did you ever partake in your consuption of , your San Miguel,a fresh Balut???? I have a new question on my next post.
Guns; My first philosophical words of wisidom given to me by my Chief Boats ,were as following.Drink out of bottles,eat nothing cold,and look out for Benny Negrottis.
It has changed a lot since I was there in 65 and 66. and yes, I am one of the many who lost wallet, money and ID card. I even seen the 10 yr. old kid that took it. He hit me at a dead run right in the middle of the busy side walk. Plucked my wallet right off my belt. (old dress whites W/jumper) Thats where all the cool sailors wore their wallets. Needless to say, after I was a cool sailor, I became a smart sailor and found another place to carry my wallet. Good times. Thanks for the memories. Dave
