#12 Summer in the Province 🌞

Living in a city is great but living in a province is much better to experience. In this article I will show and prove to each of you how best summer in the province could be. Summer season has finally started in the Phillipines. We can now experience a much hotter temperature during the day time and even night time. Cold weather is over summer is here and we can't stop it from coming. But atleast we can enjoy the heat if we go to a place where we could have fun all day.

If you are looking for a place to spend your summer then province could be the best choice to go for. Why province? The answer is very simple, the ambiance is perfect for relaxation and the place is free from pollution. That could make your stay so nice without any stress or hassle. Province is closer to nature and when you are in nature then for sure you will be amaze by its surroundings. Look how beautiful the scenery along the river was. The reflection of the nature in the water is like a painting.

As you can see there are so many coconut and banana tree planted around here. It gives a shade and helps to make the ambiance more pleasant. Seeing many trees are so satisfying and relaxing. There are also different birds flying around. The weather is just perfect to explore this place. Just wear some hat and put sunblock on your face and skin so that its safe to stay under the sun.

During summer season it is so fun to have a swimming. We don't have a beach nearby but we have a river instead. Our river is very clean and the residents here are very responsible in maintaining its cleanliness. That is why we can still enjoy going here every summer.

I am glad that I had a chance to visit again this place near in our barangay. It is a walking distant only but if you want to ride in a tricycle then its fine also but I will recommend you to walk instead because you will have more time enjoying the scenery.

Picnic is the most common activity during summer. The best place to do it is near the river. There are cottages made in bamboo and dried coconut leaves that are available where you can rent it in an affordable price. No need to worry for a place where you could eat and rest after swimming. Just make sure you bring your own trash bag and strictly don't throw any garbage in the river.

During the Holy Week season this river were full of both local and tourists. The beautiful scenery attracts them and it is much cheaper compared to resorts and beaches because the only thing you will pay here is cottage, no entrance fee at all.

These local residents are doing their laundry in the river. That would be cost efficient in using water as their water supply is unlimited and for free. They can also dry those laundry under the intense heat of the sun. Multitasking is real, swimming and doing the laundry at the same time that makes their laundry experience even more fun to do.

I also took a closer look of the crystal clear water in the river. You can easily notice if there were a fishes nearby. Be careful also when stepping on those stones as it is sliperry due to some moss. The water level is up to 4ft only. The wave is moving slowly which is very safe to swim here.

As I explore the river I found these crablets hiding underneath the stones. I catched them and placed in a broken bamboo. They were so small then and I bring them back into the water after taking them a photo. Even they were small their claws are so powerful and sharp.

I also found a cows and I tried to move closer to them carefully. Actually I am very afraid to move closer to them because I feel they will get mad at me. But luckily this white cow is very friendly. They were eating grass at that time so I make sure I won't disturb them.

Every angle and part of this place is picture perfect. Even the grass looks beautiful. I can only say that province have a hidden paradise like this. This place is free to visit and I am very happy that the neatness of the surrounding is well maintained upto now.

Summer shouldn't be expensive to enjoy it. A simple place like province would be enough to make it memorable and fun for the whole family.
