Back to Davao and then some


Last March, Spanky and I returned to Davao with the Llanera gang for my mom's post-birthday celebration. As usual, the 3 days went by so fast, but I especially enjoyed this trip because we stayed a night at the Eden Nature Park and Resort.

On our last visit, Spanky and I just took the day trip to tour the whole park and go zipping. This time, we were able to fish--I caught about four tilapias :-)

But my most favorite part of Eden was our cottage. There was no need for airconditioning since the resort was built on the slope of Mount Apo. So the room extended to a screened terrace with a view of the forest. I want our future home to have something like this!

Then two weeks after, Spanky got this crazy idea to bike all the way to Pundakit in Zambales. Good thing he had a biking buddy, Randall.

I was supposed to take a bus to meet him there, but my dad took pity and drove me there. He bought the van so the crazy bikers could board their bikes on it going home.

We stayed their for 2 nights, and the boys cooked up a feast with grilled oysters, sinigang na isda sa miso and liempo.

On our way home, we stopped by the church (forgot the name) buried in lahar. The former front window was now the entrance door to the church. It was a great lesson on resilience.
