Agdangan,Quezon:50th Wedding Anniversary of Arlene's Parents

Our friend Arlene who lives in Laoag, visits her hometown twice a year. It was her parent's wedding anniversary so she invited us to meet her relatives.They have a big clan indeed and it is very common among Filipinos to gather together during important events no matter where they live near or far they'd come!I don't have a big clan I think and only a handful of my relatives gather with us in my mother's house during Christmas time.

After lunch,most of the people left for their homes far away.Arlene brought us to the beach to pray and spend time together.It was a long walk from their house to the beach but it is bearable.There were many resorts lined up in the stretch of the shore.Most of the area are cordoned off from the public.We didn't intend to swim so we just asked one of the care takers to allow us to pass through and see the ocean.She was reluctant at first because of the dogs roaming around,perhaps to ward off strangers,in the end she allowed us.We went back to her little store to drink soda and eat some snacks.
