The shaman's trip to the beach

Sorry Yuki you can't

The shaman's recent visit to puerto galera for a little R & R.

Off-peak season is a nice time to visit, have a few people around, and everything is cheaper compared to peak seasons.

Sand Trailing at the beach of General, Nakar, Quezon

The Coconut Farm

Last Saturday, October 23, 2010 my wife ninei's birthday. I went out with my dad to visit our family roots. The town northeast of Rizal. I accompanied him doing his rounds along our properties in the area. We then visited a nice location at the beach where a fine brown sand beach front is located on the eastern side of the town facing the Pacific Ocean.

On the way there, we encountered some soft sand and some minor obstacles as deep as 1-1.5 feet.

I was surprised to see this area very fresh, underpopulated and clean. A nice resort or rest house would be nice to be built here. A nice place to relax away from city noise and pollution.
