Visiting Lucy's house was a real treat. This house is made out of 100% bamboo. Growing in the trees surrounding her house were an abudance of rambutan and buko--my two favorite treats in the Philippines!
Rice fields.
We took a thirty minute canoe ride between 2 major mountains to see the falls.
The first fall...

The Diamond Anniversary

Papang & Mamang's 75th Wedding Anniversary

"The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a glowing depth, beauty and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident."
-Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole

Papang and Mamang with their kids (rip Tita)
Ring & Coin Bearer and Flower Girl
"To Light our Path" (lighting of the candles)
