It was much better than walking, although I didn’t get where I wanted to
go. The peddler guy ran out of steam and dropped me at the Santa Cruz
Church rather than the Quiapo Church which is about ten minutes by foot
from here. For some reason, he wanted the whole fare! I let him argue for a
while while sweat just poured off of him and then gave him the fare. I can
walk the remaining distance. I haven’t been in a pedicab since Saigon in
1967. I was more than a little smaller back then. The ride didn’t get any
smoother, however, in the meantime.
