Nothing but water
Warning: Images galore. Pump up your browser engines.
We got to spend the long weekend plus approved vacation leaves plus forced leaves plus another long weekend stranded due to bad roads here.
And you thought the sea was venerable and inviting.
Amper Beach, on the other side looked surreal, as the giant smooth stones resembled a beach on another planet. The strong waves caused by a local weather disturbance looked menacing, but was lovely as to be photographed by my brother. It could have been a surfer's paradise but slamming into sharp outcrops is out of the story.
We ended up eating katti, boiled freshwater snails in calamansi juice.
Too dainty to be sucked like kuhol, so safety pins came in handy. Like butong pakwan however, the joy of eating katti is in bringing out the snail's meat and piling several in a heap before spooning them like escargot.
Crabs too, in thick coconut milk and fiddlehead ferns. If possible, marry one.
Blurred. Damn hands, can't wait to take a snip of those crabbies.
Aurora is euphorbia country.
My dad has several rows of these succulents, locally known as koronang tinik. I had three plants in my garden in Laguna which he gave earlier but never knew that such would demand high prices, and that euphorbia robbery has become rampant in Baler that a special permit was now required if one is to ship large amounts of it outside the province.
And finally, aside from me, the other famous person to be baptized in this historic church was MLQ3's grandfather. Teehee.
Nanowrimo? What Nanowrimo? 700 words as of today.

The place is Dipaculao, Manolo ;-) Baler's neighbor.

Oops! I thought MLQ3 was the one who asked where's the place. Sorry.

Oops again! I meant *katti* not katid.
