Infanta (Part IV)
Saturday afternoon. Matapos mamasyal sa bayan, bumalik kami sa barrio kung saan nandoon yung bahay nina Snap. Kinailangang bumalik ni Snap sa Maynila noong umagang ‘yon kaya naiwan kami sa lugar nila. Kumain kami ng tanghalian sa bahay ng kamag-anak nila.
Ako naman, kinailangan kong umuwi noong araw ding ‘yon dahil marami akong kailangang asikasuhin sa susunod na araw para sa Lunes. Dahil sa Linggo pa nang umaga uuwi sina AD, Prech at Marella, ako lang ang bumiyahe mag-isa.
When I reached town, I was confronted with the choice of just taking an airconditioned van back to Manila. I decided against it. Riding an “ordinary” bus with all the windows open, I’ve just realized, is just a treat incomparable to the ‘comforts’ of being sheltered inside airconditioned vehicles. All the wind, the heat of the sun, the other passengers, the sights, the sounds, the smell, ah… It’s an experience on its own. Just close the windows once you reach Manila. Plus, it’s much cheaper.
The highway from Infanta to Famy is such a scenic road trip with the view of the sea and the Sierra Madre. I was about to say it’s one of the best views on the road I’ve seen but I remembered Palawan and its genuinely lush mountains and all that. Still, the sights were awesome.
After two hours of passing through Real, Quezon and its part of the Sierra Madre mountains, we finally touch flat ground in Famy, Laguna. But it was all zigzags again once we reached the next town of Mabitac on the way to Rizal.
I had a lot of things in my mind pero wala akong masabi.
Hey, Bikoy! Will you tell me how you do the photo collage things? I like them. Thanks.
