The drive away from the city, with our kids all geared up for vacation and our car packed with all that we need, is in itself very satisfying. The look in our faces was picture perfect, all excited with the idea of 4 days of rest, fun and change of scenery. Thank you, Lolon and Larita, for this gift of rest and beauty.
Highlights of the trip:
We were brought to this private cove. Imagine *this* as your backyard. And it literally was our friend’s backyard! I still can’t get over how you can walk a few steps from your home and be greeted with all *this*. It was all to ourselves that afternoon. We felt at home with the silence, the sound of water and the lush greens.
With Lolon (grandfather), fishing is always part of rest. My eldest agrees. Ever since he first held a fishing rod, he was determined that he would someday catch a fish. He knows the secret to catching: one has to be patient and be very very quiet. For a 5 year old kid who moves a lot, to see him sit quietly under the sun, patiently waiting, was priceless.
Suddenly, a tug on the line! His first catch!
I, on the other hand, felt like keeping it as a pet.
