So we left DD at 6 am with the big truck, traversing through the winding roads and highways of towns, crossing regional borders bafore mid-morning. Listening to the call of nature, we stopped by the roadside where we enjoyed the shed of tall trees, and Yongi got his wee walks and rest too.

We hit the road again after an hour or so. There was no rush, well except when we felt hungry, lol! So the husband stepped on the gas to find a food place, and that was when we caught a glimpse of this gentle reminder from the town of Kayapa, Nueva Viscaya.

Be gentle on my curves, it said, a beautiful way of saying "Drive Safely." (The roads are curvy that's why). So we slowed down a bit, even gave way to speeding SUVs and vans. We didn't want a race, so go ahead, but be careful☺️ Anyway, we ate at a small foodhouse where we had fish (Tilapia) for the first time in months, or was it years? I don't even remember. But what a good change that was! As it is Sunday, most establishments were closed, so there wasn't much of a choice. After the meal, we took the road again, passing through bridges and such. Beautiful weather, yay!

At 2 pm, we reached Bambang, where we found a place to park and cool down a bit. Some fifty yards or so away, I noticed a lovely reflection (of palm tree branches) on a house's glass walls. Zoomed my phone cam to 10x and got these shots.

We left the parking zone at 4 and proceeded to the farm store for supplies. The hubby wanted a particular product, which he couldn't find elsewhere. They need it for the bell pepper. After the farm store, it was time to visit the cousin. We would be spending the night here and we take the road to the city tomorrow morning for a wee adventure. Only a few days remain, and the new year comes!
