I had this concept. I would look "hot and buff" by the time my wife sees me if I bike to ilig iligan everyday. Armed with my snorkel gear pack and a bottle of water, I started my attack like Lance Armstrong, feeling the wind at my back and focused on the road ,breezing past the tricycles and making it to station #1 in record time. Unfortunately I did not account the road incline past station #1. My legs are slowly turning to mush and I'm now being more like Neil Armstrong on the moon, slow and cumbersome. I ended up doing more walking than biking.I got to find a different way to look "hot and buff" because this biking thing is a dumb idea. I'm thankful that I am not a foul- mouthed cursing man. I made it to the ilig iligan somehow and jumped in the ocean to cool my aching body.
I snorkeled around the inlet and was graced by it's beauty. I found myself swimming with a school of angelfish, surprised by a zooming jackfish and was mesmerized by the presence of seahorses. So many different and colorful sea creatures. I can swim here forever.
Went inside my land and prayed for it's future and that the LORD be magnified through this property.
Biking back was breeze since it is mostly downhill. Way cool.
Got back to my room, took a shower and ended up falling asleep at 6:30 pm. Got up at midnight to call my wife, then back to bed. I woke up at 9 am the next day. I was one tired boy. Lance Armstrong ,you got my respect, man. Hopefully I'll try this again, someday. ;)
