I had dinner with Lynley Ocampo and Gavin Bagares at Stephen Aznar's Cafe Elysa in the Parian of Old Cebu. We had Filipino food which was excellent. Cafe Elysa does have other non-Filipino dishes.
Afterwards, Gavin led us on a walking tour to see the night market (vegetables and fruit), tucked-away historic buildings like the Chinese Temple on Plaridel Street. We ended up in the square in front of City Hall and we looked at the three eucalyptus trees that were filled with sleeping Galansiyang birds. I've walked by these trees in the early evening when the birds had come home to roost and were making a racket. Last night, they were asleep. And finally we visited once again the charming Senior Citizens Park -- so serene and elegant, a treasure in Cebu City.
Here are some pictures:
