Tasted the sweetest mango and tried the iced watermelon
(just ice cubes and watermelon – no added sugar), it was refreshing. We went to
the field to see the sunset (and mimicked the cows and carabaos' sounds. Haha), and planned to wake up early the next morning to
catch the sunrise in the nearby sea, the Lingayen Gulf (I photographed the
Lingayen Gulf’s sunrise years ago – http://rizalenio.blogspot.com/2011/02/lingayen-gulf-sunrise.html) but we woke up late.
…and then we slept more with opened huge capiz windows…and birds
chirping in the background. Oh good times.
The last photo left me speechless, Rizalenio! The watermelon, hm, I can't wait them! It seems you ate a lot during the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank God for weekends, Traveling Hawk. Make us feel alive. Yep, I ate a lot. I love watermelon and mango.

ReplyDeleteI can never get enough of mangoes, especially Philippine mangoes. They're like the fruits of summer for me (and good for my bowel movement too haha!)
ReplyDeleteEspecially the mangoes from Guimaras, The Nomadic Pinoy. World class. Haha. You're right, mabisang kaakibat sa CR. :)

ReplyDeleteI've never heard of that small town in Pangasinan before. I must say that the sweetest tasting mangoes I've ever eaten are from that province.

ReplyDeleteHi, Rajesh. They are very sweet. I'll send you some if only you're near. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comments.
I have to close my eyes everytime I take a bite on that mango, it's really sweet. And that watermelon too. Fresh from the farm. Hope you'll enjoy these food the next time you go home in our country.
