took a motor car through the
modern part of the City – over
the Dewey Boulevard – Past
the Bay of Manila – and some
of the fine public buildings
as well as private homes.
Saw some University buildings
and Private schools – Then
through the Spanish quarter
with its monasteries – its
homes with the barred windows
and narrow streets – to the
Philapino homes built on
stilts and with its thatched
roof of grass in all stages
of dilapidation. Crowded
to-gether and looking most
uninviting. Then past the
Manila hotel with it’s beautiful
??? and returned to the
steamer for dinner.
