Salay is the place where my Papa grew up. It's also the place where most of the Dahans learned the values preserved by our great great grand parents. It's where the entire family meet up after years of not seeing each other. In other words, it's the remarkable setting where we reunite. hehehe... But apart from being a sentimental place for our family, Salay itself is just unbelievably the most virgin place I've went to.
I cannot even begin to describe the place coherently. So let me just share with you now the highlights of my vacation! :)
Just a few walks from our ancestral house, here's a spectacular view of the beach! I've always been vocal on how much i love water. Kahit hindi ako marunong lumangoy, sobrang mahal ko talaga ang dagat. Kaya naman, everytime we go to Salay, hindi talaga pwedeng hindi ko mapuntahan ang beach. Ang buhangin dito'y hindi man kasing gorgeous ng boracay( which I haven't seen personally) , but the beach is divine. Sobrang ganda talaga and peaceful. Perfect for those who want to unwind. :) Plus! not to mention the amazing blue skies. :D
Being in Salay makes it kind of hard to believe that hanggang ngayon buhay na buhay pa rin ang mga "payag- payag". This charming cozy little kiosk was built by the kind citizens of Salay. It's really cute. Kung masubukan n'yong makapunta ng Salay, try sitting right in this exact place and you will feel like you're a real dalagang Filipina or real binatang Filipino. hehehe.
Sorry! Can't help but post this picture. :P In Salay, one can unceasingly see these flowers. I don't know how they are called but really ang dami nila sa Salay, lalo na sa cemetery. By the way, I decided to post this picture just to share na everytime we come to Salay, we always go to the cemetery to pay visit to our Grandparents, Granduncles, Grandaunts, 1st,2nd, and 3rd degree cousins...hehehe....ang laking pamilya! :D
Learn how Salay preserves its clean and green environment. Look at the street, wala talaga ni isang pirasong basura. Here in Salay kasi, people are responsible enough to clean their own mess and maintain the tidiness of their respective areas without being told or being commanded by the higher authority (wow! authority jud). hehehe... If streets are as clean as this, ang sarap sigurong maglakad nalang always noh? :D
so there you have it for now...
more pictures to come in my next posts...
Happy Vacation! :)
