A Return to Simplicity

This is the last leg of my four-day run of our Pangasinan experience.

Before going there, I told Gabby and Sunday that Pangasinan is a province and people there live simply. I also told them beforehand that the town we would be staying at doesn’t have big malls and other entertainment venues which they really love to go to almost every weekend. People there eat fresh foods so they are healthier and stronger, not like urban dwellers who can eat fastfood in a flick of a finger (exagge!) or a dial on the phone. They don’t have access to internet and computers can only be found in town proper or province capital.

I was so happy they got the idea and didn’t ask for I-don’t-know-where-to-get things while we were there. :)

We indeed enjoyed our short-lived vacation there. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the kids were able to discover and see some things they didn’t know before.

wood-fueled stove
artesian well, province version
(Manila version: just add a long line of water collectors)
fresh seafoods

Gabby and Sunday up in the treehouse!

There you go. I'm back to reality. Back to the city and back to busy-ness!
Happy Thursday to all! :)
