Have you already eaten La Paz Batchoy? You probably have eaten La Paz Batchoy but do you know the place here in the Visayas that it is known for its great La Paz Batchoy?? It's the place where Dinagyan festival is held. It's no other than Iloilo City.
It was a great experience going there with my brother Valentin. We went there with our neighbour as our precious mom's prize to us. It was a fun experience but that it has made us miss our home. Home is definitely the best place to be. You can just be yourself. You're very much comfortable when you're home. Agree??
It was our first time to go there. While on the boat going there, we had a hard time falling asleep. With that, my brother and I decided to go strolling around. The wind was strong that messed up our hair. My brother was imagining of flying a kite because of the strong wind.
The trip was quite long. It was about twelve hours of travel. The sun was rising hot when we finally arrived in Iloilo City. Sweat was dripping down our face. It really made us crave for a cold bath.
Our first stop was the office of our neighbour in Iloilo City. We stayed there for about three days. Within those days, we were able to go around the city. I definitely loved the place though it was way different from Cebu.
Not long after, we headed for our neighbours' hometown, Ajuy, Iloilo. On the road, fields were on both sides. The tranquility of the place amazed me so much. As we arrived in their place, I was so shocked. Their place was near the cemetary. Not really beside the cemetary but it was just a few meters away. Being a coward when it comes to things that may relate to the dead, I really wanted to go back home. Back to Cebu where my family is there to protect me. That's how afraid I am of the dead. But I was left with no choice. My parents have already spent quite a huge amount. With that, I had to conquer my fear.
Despite the fact that their place was near a cemetary, I still enjoyed my stay. People were so sweet and caring. It somehow felt like being home. Since our neighbour has a farm, we decided to visit it. In their farm, we went fishing as they had a huge fishing pond.We even rode on a banca while fishing. We went horse backriding, swimming on their falls, climbing on tree houses and running all-over the farm. With all these things, do you know how much we struggled just to reach the place??
It was a rainy day. Since the roads were muddy, we had to get off the car and walk going to the farm. Before reaching the farm, we had to cross a river. While crossing the river, one of my friends tricked me that there's a snake in the river. Being a person afraid of creatures like those, I hurriedly ran leaving my slippers behind in the middle of the riiver. As the current was strong. no one was able to find it. I felt sad as that was one of the things my mom bought for me before leaving for Iloilo City. But I have to accept the fact that it's now gone. I had to walk bare-footed going to the farm. Yuck! Mud on my feet.
Days unnoticeably gone so fast. Our stay in Ajuy, Iloilo has come to an end. We had to pack our things as we were heading again for Iloilo City. That's where we'll buy the needed stuffs before leaving for Boracay.
Iloilo is a place that will always be part of the adventures I had in my lifetime.
