Election heat was over. The next day was a relaxing mode. Part of our one-week vacation in our hometown in Albay is of course the sun and sand adventure.
My relatives in Malinao told us about a secluded beach in Baryo Jonop. I was puzzled for I knew there's no beach resort in the municipality of Malinao. I just shrugged my shoulder when all my buddies wanted to swim there. We hired a multi-cab for P1,000 for our one day getaway.
