July 24, 2011 Aaaaahh!!!

Our wonderful respite last Sunday. After a stressful and sweltering week, Ate's son-in-law, Jersen, shown here, front right, drove us to a "resort" his cousin owns. This area is where Jersen grew up and his relatives have farms along here. From left to right, Amy DeCola, Apple holding her son, Noah, me, Bernadette, Ate Lillian, a few cousins, Jersen (Apple's husband) and their little girl, Quincy. For a few dollars we rented the Cabana for the day, overlooking this farmland and with an equally beautiful breeze. It was a delight for all the senses. We were also introduced to "balut", which is a chick in the egg, just about ready to hatch, but hard boiled. A great delicacy which Apple made a great show of enjoying for our benefit but we declined. Ate Lillian doesn't eat them either! So there!
These next two photos are our view from the Cabana:
Water buffalo in the rice paddy. 

Aaaahhhh! The water is soft and just barely cool.
