Cebu City is bordered by the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. We regularly get to enjoy the ocean but it's not often we get out to explore the mountains. There aren't any public walking trails or nature parks and so we've been a bit disappointed with lack of options for getting out in nature for a hike. Now that we have Ella and we see how much she loves and needs to frolic around where there are trees and grass and open space, we recently decided to settle for a walk in the powerful midday sun on a road through lots of farm land that has some nice views. We enjoyed it so much we wondered why we haven't done this more in the past. It's perfect for Ella, who loves finding a good stick or two, riding on Daddy's shoulders, skipping with mommy and being social with the many cows and goats along the way. We are so thankful to live in such a beautiful place. I realize that by adjusting expectations and having the right kind of attitude we get to experience some simple but great things that we might otherwise miss out on.

Looks like you had a fantastic adventure hiking in those mountains. Love all the pictures, too!
Amazing photos!! You do live in one of the most beautiful places in the world. We would love to be able to spend half the year in the Philippines but there is this little thing called WORK!! We loved our time there and you are so blessed to raise little Ella in such an amazing place. Again, your photos were wonderful!!
Thanks for the photos and I'm so glad you guys got out for a hike!

Blessings!
