After a stressful week trying to snag an elusive interview, I was happy to get out of the city, to take a trip somewhere distant where phones are not buzzing intermittently. It took awhile to get there. We had to go through two long and winding highways (and of course, ended up taking a wrong turn mwahaha), pass through a town that calls it a day by 9PM, drive through a desert of lahar, and then go up a mountain. What could possibly be worth all this trouble?
Silence... up in the mountain, there is peace, there is quiet. Up in the mountain, you can choose not to think, choose not to do.
And so we slept, ate, swam, walked, and slept some more.
Could you blame me then if I am not here, still?
Where we stayed
Our favorite spot, from here you can feel the wind blowing through the mountain, hear the leaves dancing from their branches
It was so peaceful that I ended up sleeping everywhere. I took a nap here...
... and by the pool, under the sun
... and on this hammock, under the shade
Myra, super thanks for having us! Here she is with her son Joseph...
... who prepared this wonderful lunch of Grilled Peppered Liempo and Malunggay Pesto. That's his dad, whom I would forever fondly call Sir.
One last look :)
yes, it sure looks like the trek was worth it. What a beautiful place to relax. Enjoy my friend.
