Nevergirl’s

Guess who’s back from Guimaras? With truckloads of stories to tell?

We walked up and down streets, explored ruins, ate lechon pastry, slept with geckos, swam in the afternoon, biked in the sunset, danced in the bonfire, told wicked stories, talked nonstop, laughed until we hurt, and took endless photos of the sand, sky, sea, and each other. On the third day, we greeted our last morning in Guimaras bleary-eyed but happy and ready to fly back to the homes we had left behind.

I promise to blog about the Cebu-Iloilo-Guimaras adventure but I’m crazy-busy at the moment so for now, let me leave you with this beautiful, beautiful photo by Aileen Siroy. That girl with the blue headband is Tin, and she knows a wild and secret place where grace and laughter grow on trees.

I know, I know. I left this blog to die… but it’s a temporary death because I only left for a while. We went on another impromptu mini-vacation, bringing the entire household with us. We’re still not back in Cebu and won’t be for a day or two (or maybe three). I just thought I’d check on this blog for a wee bit while the boys are out looking for fish to grill. If I hadn’t said this before here, it’s time I do now: fiestas in Bohol are amazing!

Oh, and yes, that’s where we went and what we did – eating, dancing, singing, watching street parades, meeting up grade school classmates, and keeping the lolas company, while people streamed in and out of the house. From all the eating we did this week alone, I’d say we packed on 15 pounds each at the very least!

After spending the whole morning and half the afternoon out, this was how we looked while we waited for our ride.

We were so exhausted it escapes me now how we managed to stay awake til we got home. But wait! Aren’t you the slightest bit curious what we did to look this tired?
