“Between every two pine trees there is a door leading to a new way of life.”

– John Muir

The weekend drive took us to Kabayan which is one of the 13 municipalities in the province. We initially wanted to visit the cave where the mummies are but we realized it is closed since it is a Sunday.

So we ended up just driving along the provincial roads, stopping now and then to enjoy the beautiful landscapes and simply live like we have all the time in the world. Sometimes it feels great to just let our soul wonder and wander through and through.

One of the spots which I like best was this area which was overlooking the town center. It came as a surprise as we were heading downhill when we noticed the nice view from up there so we slowed down a bit.

The first things that caught my eyes were the beautiful trees and their branches not so dense yet spreading some shade over the place. There were a few kids and some teeners playing volleyball which was a lovely thing to see.

Such a scene isn't often seen in our place nowadays. Most children are either inside their homes glued in front of the TV screens or on their gadgets. But it seems a lot different in this town so it's kind of refreshing. Activities like this should be encouraged more, don't you think?

It was nice watching them for a little while but then we were really hungry so we didn't stay there longer. We drove down in search for a place to eat but we didn't expect the difficulty of finding a parking space in the center of town so while our tummies growled, we spent another 10-15 minutes looking for one. We get past the school where there seemed to be an event going on but we didn't find any safer spot so we came back and parked right along that street.

Then we walked for about 10 minutes to the first diner we found and went in. They didn't have many options in their menu but hell, we're famished so anything will do, lol! Besides, we had to go back to the car immediately or they might take its plate because we were parked where there was a "No Parking" sign which is every where that left us no choice really.😂

But yes, the busy town center was nothing like the very laidback scene we observed up there where the kids were playing. It felt like we were suddenly transported to another dimension which was the opposite of what we were enjoying earlier, hehe! But that is the beauty of going to places I think, being able to see (and experience) how life is like out there while we explore.

That is a great scenery there.I think we should encourage kids to do outside activities more rather than stick with their screen for a long time.

Beautiful scenery and it sounds like it was a lovely day.
Great to hear the children weren’t inside glued to tv’s or other devices and were playing outside. It is a rare sight nowadays… sadly. So I can imagine it was refreshing to see, it still exists.
The greenery is stunning. Great captures @ifarmgirl
Luckily you found some food and could get out quickly from the no parking zone.
Have a wonderful week further 👋🏻😊🌺

Awww, I feel that you are all enjoying even if the spot was closed. I wonder how it feels to be there on the cave with the mummies, hehe. I am scared to enter a cave sis. By the way, the trees are standing beautifully. I never heard about this place but still hopes to visit here one day. Have a great time sis CJ and best regards.

What a beautiful landscape! Life looks so peaceful in those first photos. And, it's true, one of the great experiences of traveling and exploring other places is seeing what life is like in those places.

There's nothing worse than feeling hungry but not finding the right place to eat. I like to figure that out in advance to save myself the trouble, especially with a hangry husband.
