This summer we discovered a new and totally economical way to beat the summer heat ...
once when we found the sun too hot even while inside the house, we decided to pack our lunch, bring some cold drinks and ice in a cooler, buy some fruits and eat at a rented nipa hut beside the river. The local folks call the place - Pugpog...maybe it's the name of the river, I don't really know... all I know is that for some time, the place provided us with a bit of refreshment at so little cost!
There was a bit of a problem though...in the morning when we arrived, the water was still so low so that the kids had to lie down just to feel the water running behind their backs. My daughter had no problem with that though...she even swam in her bathing suit!!!
Well, what mattered was that we were able to escape the summer heat due to the windy ambiance of the place...and we all ate our simple meal with much gusto!
And come afternoon, the water level rose considerably so that the kids (and even the adults) enjoyed bathing in the river immensely... we had to watch out though for floating debris(!?!) which came from upriver and couldn't be helped...hehehe. But in all it was a fun experience...one we wouldn't mind doing once again.
