in the philippines

what a long few weeks its been. this trip to the philippines was definitely one of my favorites. mainly because of the good mix of family, rest, and even a little bit of business. here are some of my favorite snaps. first we visit my grandma's house from the 50's...fish, a staple for any meal. this was for breakfast...jeepney ride to my uncle's farm...orchids from my uncle's farm to bring to my grandparents' graves...we are there Nov. 1 for all souls day where the party is at the cemetary...what surrounded us through a hike in the coconut tree forest...plane ride to Bohol in the south of the Philippines. a view of Mt. Mayon volcano known to have the most perfect cone...

these are called the chocolate hills because in the summer, the green dries out to brown and they look like chocolate mounds...
white sand beaches of Bohol Beach Club. this was the restful part of our trip, relaxing in the water, having spiked mango shakes, and getting a massage on the beach!some of parts of the beach were just made up of bits of coral...

Respect for your attention for all the stuff you are surrounded in your country or in a foreign one. You find always the beauty in any object. Continue observing life in all details and i will read your next blog with higher interest. Our world doesn't appreciate enough what we still have so people like you do the best pointing out in any occasion that the beauty can be found anywhere and has to be respected.Thanks.
