Juan's sojourn
US flag
Grace and Juan Marrero
A MAG-ANAK Tour
California - Cebu - Manila
April 2000

FIRST LEG: Juan in California

Juan begins the journey
with a California layover
guests of MAG-ANAK family,
Julie, Charlie and Scott Hess

The Happy Hess Household,
friendly beacon to all
wayward and thirsty
MAG-ANAKERS


SECOND: Grace and Juan in Cebu with MAG-ANAK and KUMARE buds

In Cebu:
Anna Yeager, unknown exotic Filipina,
and Mark's wife (Lucy?)

Two other unnamed Pinay beauties,
asking the inevitable,
"Why isn't Ray here?"

A few of the
MAG-ANAK folks
performing exotic dances
to the amazement
of Ron McCarthy's local family

MAG-ANAK brothers line up,
at request of local gendarmes
as result of
criminal complaint!

After seeing the
size of these guys
witnesses aren't sure if
perp was a little Filipino boy
or big Gringo

After Juan shakes fist at witnesses,
the ladies are now asked
to line up
cause witnesses now can't recall
if male or female

All is now well,
after Ron promises San Miguel
to the whole barrio
if charges are dropped!

THIRD: Grace and Juan finally alone in Manila

Relaxing in Sari-Sari store
of Grace's aunt
in Quezon City

Juan demonstrating
equestrian skills
near La Corona Hotel

Grace standing proud
by Balikbayan boxes
going to Mindanao family

Juan reading Swagman's menu,
undecided because of rumor
that beef is really Kangaroo meat

Juan's Grace,
proudly displaying MAG-ANAK rooster
and bragging to Swagman
that steak is bigger in Texas!
