Rizal Beach in Dulag:

Recenlty took a random shot of the sea grass bed w/ flowers on the beach at Rizal Beach, Dulag, Leyte and the cloudscapes that day were quite fascinating as well. 

Dulag was one of the towns in Leyte that was hit hard by Typhoon Yolanda but people are doing their best to rebuild. 

Been going to and fro all around Leyte and I am rediscovering it unlike any other time. Our landscape is not to be taken for granted. Whether land, sea, or mountainside, we have quite a treasure trove in our own beloved island.

Padre Burgos Castle and Tangka-an Beach:

Happy to report that the first spot I got to hang out upon returning To Leyte was Padre Burgos Castle in Tangka-an Beach situated at the southern-most tip of The island.

Padre Burgos Castle also features excellent hospitality, unmatched around the area with exclusivity that makes one feel special. 

The lady servers are charming and polite.

 A tropical dream...

I do hope to visit again, it was a very nice reprieve from the frenzied transition from the USA to the Philippines!
