Outline of Negros mountains across the water Boys pose on Sea Wall

We arrived in Balamban about a half hour early so we drove down to the waterfront. Preparations were beginning for the fiesta sponsored by the local Catholic Church in honor of their patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi. Shops, ballons, vendors of all kinds were everywhere. We drove slowly through and parked near a park being built along the water's edge. A street market was set up at the end of the parking lot with delicious-looking fruits and vegetables, but being Sunday, we passed by them and went along the newly-laid concrete paths and over to the water's edge. We attracted a group of small boys who wanted to pose on the sea wall. Bob took their pictures with some boats in the background and looming large, through the mist in the distance, the island of Negros.
