The Pahiyas Festival is one of the most colorful festivals here in the country. It is held every 15th of May in the town of Lucban in the province of Quezon. This festival is held in honor of San Isidro Labrador. This is also the farmer’s way to give thanks for their bountiful harvest.

Farmers show their beautiful produce by designing their houses with vegetables, fruits and colorful “Kiping”.

We were there last tuesday to celebrate this fiesta of all fiestas and we were able to witness how beautifully designed the houses are. This is our first time to attend the Pahiyas festival and we enjoyed it so much.

Traveling for four hours to get there is worth it. Even if the van that we rented back in Sta. Cruz to get there needed a new K&N Stock Replacement Air Filter.

I’ll share more of our experiences and photos at http://www.thewanderingpeach.com.

Ykaie’s 5th day started out very well….

Coach Yna even let Ykaie wore shades for a few seconds. Ykaie doesn’t like wearing goggles. Since she can open her eyes underwater, she find it easier without the goggles…

Her 5th day was also the first day that her coach took off her armfloat. She replaced it with a small floater tied on her back. She got really scared and cried loudly even though she  was floating.

I found her blowing up her armfloats while she was resting….

On her 3rd day, Ykaie told me she wanted a girl swimming coach. It was very timely because she was turned over to Ate Yna….

Around this time that the swimming instructor is deflating her arm float secretly. I guess this is done so she could manage floating all by herself, without the help of those arm float.

She also began teaching her to swim without an armfloat, which Ykaie was really scared about.

Read on…there’s more!
