Pearl Farm was next in the itinerary. We decided to stay the night over at one of the Samal houses. The place is absolutely beautiful. This was the relaxing interlude of my vacation. I feel like I could have stayed here for a long time. I loved everything about it. The house on the stilts facing the ocean. Watching the sunset. The food in Maranao Restaurant. The house band singing Waterloo (Abba). The privacy of Mandaya beach. The electric car! The sound of waves in the morning. The flight of birds across the ocean. The schools of fish beneath the veranda. Everything is so beautiful. Everyone is courteous. I remember walking back to the house on my own from the restaurant and I was greeted by everyone I passed. The staff, the gardener, the carpenters working on the renovation of one of the houses, the guests. It was just lovely.
