Hello hivers, how was your weekend? Mine was too ambitious but it was a wonderful experience. We had a very nice time at the beach again. It was 11 am in the morning that we decided to go to the beach so I cook something for our snack and you'll gonna see it soon here because I will blog it here. I was talking about the cassava cake. After 2 hours of cooking we decided to go down there at the beach. It's already 3 or 4 pm I think that's why it is now gloomy and it was cloudy too. This was our trail to the beach. And the kids enjoy running down there.

These are mangroves and they are planted there as natural sea wall.

Then we had just arrived and the sea was too far and far away we saw some fishing boat.

So we find a place to put our things, our slippers, shirts, phones and food. Then we eat and drink before we swam onto the warm sea. This is the cassava cake I cooked in the morning. And here goes the coke lover. He got a full shot of it hahaha. But the truth is we forgot to bring a glass that's why we drank it directly.

And here are my captures of how beautiful and clear the water here. I can see some creatures under the sea and it was captured in my phone so clear. I was so amazed when I look at each pictures.
This is a stone but I think this was a coral before because of its design looks like a short fountain with so many holes for the fishes.

This proves how far the sea because the seaweeds or sea grasses are everywhere.

We are swimming in the sea and we noticed just 15 meters away from us they are going underwater so we asked them and find out they are harvesting sea urchin. So we go there and harvested room so these are the sea urchin we had collected. It was just 10 little pieces but the experience was so much a memory. It was our first time harvesting it and it was fun and tiring. It was fun seeing sea urchins underwater but it was so tiring to go down and collect those little ones using two logs. We are not planning to have this today so I just use my t shirt and that decision I regret after because it was all stained by the urchins blood.

Then I took pictures after harvesting sea urchin. My face is so dirty here hahaha. My husband was cleaning and opening it. It was not as perfect as what can you see on vloggers because this is our first time and we don't know how to open it so we just find our own way.

Then we headed home because it is about night. And my husband notice that my short was so dirty. I was sitting down on the mossy stones and I never knew it was on my shorts too.

And here we go. My two kids are eating the cassava cake and it seems like they are so hungry.

The weather is great and the sea water is so clear. If I could go there, I'd just relax and enjoy the atmosphere, and not want to leave. Have a wonderful trip!

Wow, Such a fulfilling weekend with family. Harvesting sea urchins for the first time, that's a unique kind of adventure. I love to eat sea urchins especially you put a spicy vinegar. 😊

Yes spicy vinegar indeed. But I just knew that it was very difficult to collect sea urchins.

Oh! Maybe it takes a lot of skills and effort. Nature doesn't give up its treasure that easily, hehe

This special trip is really adventurous scenery. This beautiful place with sea beach and rocks is amazing to see. The colors of the rocks here have really created this place with great beauty. Your husband and you and your two children felt happy on this wonderful sea trip. I also want to enjoy such a feeling of joy. The cassava cake was a delicious food at this special place. However, I am observing the fishing from a distance. Which is very beautiful to see and is a part of the adventure scenery. Above all, I wish you all a successful trip.

Best regards @mdakash62

Wow, fresh sea urchin <3 I always wanted to taste that, my brother said it taste creamy?

yes exactly. it tastes creamy with the sea smell. it is best with calamansi then salt, also coconut vinegar it was also so good when paired to leftover or cold rice. then so much more chili

 22 days ago  

I like it already! Soon, I will be tasting this. Yeah, that was what my brother said, too It is good to pair it with rice.

Lovely family bonding by the sea. Wow, you were able to capture those tiny sea creatures. Catching sea urchins with two logs - what a challenging task. We used to eat this one too especially when our father was still alive, I liked it. I haven't eaten it in a long time. You had to do some intense brushing with those stained shorts. More sea urchins to catch next time.😀

Hahaha yeah. I spent two days soaking then washing it. Good thing there is Perla if none, maybe I just thrown it away hahaha.

Yes, it's so delicious paired with calamansi

I love going to the beach and mine YOU! Sea orchin is yummy to eat pair with sweet potato or any root crops. Thanks for sharing your blog.

I'll be exploring more what's nice to pair with sea urchin. This was my 2nd time eating it.

The environment looks quiet and serene. I love it. More importantly, I love the closeness and bond in your family. I'm pretty sure you created so much memorable moments

Yes @debbie-ese it was the only day we are complete only weekends so we always create memories I hope you too❤

Thank you so much @appreciator 😍😍

You are right teach, it smells like sea too. But it was a comfort food.
Once a week we had beach picnic and they really like the sea water so much

Yeah it's just 5 minutes by walk
