We planned breakfast for 8:30 to get a little rest. We were all kind of tired so that seemed like a good idea. So we got up and Luz and Leah made us a delicious breakfast. We have eaten a lot of food lately.
We let our tour guide, Luz, decide on a plan for the day. She decided on the beach. We sat and visited at the table a little, then while the ladies began getting lunch around, we went and filled a water jug at the pump, as they were all empty. Then we gathered the food, and loaded the car with lunch, all of us, plus 3 extra youth girls. It was full but the word is that its held many more than our 10 adults and 2 children.
The beach is right in Catbalogan, and we made a fried chicken stop on the way in. There is a breakwall along thr waters edge. The tide was up when we got there and there was no beach. There are bamboo pavilions built along the breakwall that are divided into sections with a bench on each side and a table in the middle and one costs 300 pesos for the day. The water maybe wasn’t the cleanest beach we’ve been to, but the view was phenomenal. There are islands in the distance, mountains, the water was calm, and there were very few people. It was a very beautiful day.
We ate lunch when we arrived, chicken, pancit, rice, bananas, and watermelon. Then we just took it easy. We sang a little, played a little rook, walked the sand once the tide went out, waded, visited, and just relaxed. It felt really good to not be rushing around like we’ve been doing.
Around 5 we packed up and headed back to Jia-an. We unloaded the car, took showers, and got ready for supper.
Supper was at Benny and Rolyn’s house, just across the street. She cooked us fish, tahong (mussel) lumpia, rice and bananas. Tahong makes very good lumpia!
We visited a while, then went back to Leah’s, visited some more, sang a song, had devotions, and I drank a cup of 3-in-1 while I typed, and went to bed.
