My cousins dog had puppies just a week before we showed up, so naturally Rhys named them Kai & Juni.
We didn’t just come to the Philippines to run from one beach to another, cramming our days with seeing sights.
Don’t get me wrong, plenty of that happened.
But I wanted to have a sense for the place as a whole, and in order to get that, you need to go a little bit slower. Plan on doing everyday things.
I loved meeting my cousin’s newborn puppies. Navigating public transport to try and reload our wi-fi minutes. Getting a dentist visit.
Loved that taste of everyday life.
