Weekdays have always been the busiest days to us, and it is sometimes because of work or the usual errands we run. And at the end of week, it always feels like the two-day weekend is perfect for some getaway. We don’t think we are the only people who look at it that way, since most of employees or workers are having their rest days on weekends. And most of the time, they plan an adventure or a quick vacation somewhere. But us, we spent our Sunday last week in a very interesting way – a picnic beside the river beyond the borders of where we currently reside.
Living near a river is always a privilege. Aside from getting into a spot perfect for a picnic right away, we can also connect with nature in just a few walks. But this time, we went beyond the borders of our community. The weather was so fine, and the sun did not make the day too hot. So, the only thing we have to think of is the right spot to relax.
We found a small nipa hut just beside the river, and surrounded by woods. The ambiance was amazing, since it gave us the feeling of being in a secluded private area. We settled and sat down for while embracing the fresh air, hearing the water flowing, and enjoying the sight of greenery.
After sitting for a few minutes, we saw that it was already lunch time. We did not bring much of eating utensils, so we grabbed banana leaves that served as our plates. The preparation of the foods went on, and it started by distributing the rice.
We brought some fish, salted eggs, and some vegetables, and they were placed on top of the rice. It was just a simple lunch since we did not make a detailed plan on this getaway. After putting our viand, we already heard our tummies growling. It was the sign that we need to eat right away to finally enjoy the rest of the day.
The feast went on for a few minutes – until we heard our satisfying burps. Since our tummies were already full, we just sat down for a while and took some rest. We just talked about random things while resting, and cracked some corny jokes.
An hour has passed, and one of us suggested hopping into the water already. Everyone agreed, so we took out every valuable things we have in our pockets and changed our clothes. Then, we all jumped into the river.
We really enjoyed the moment, and this blog is the proof of how we had a great time during our Sunday getaway. We hope you guys will also find time to get out of your houses, and get your adventures amplified and connect with nature. Here’s another blog from your power duo. Check us out below!
