I've been living in Zamboanga for already more than 20 years and I haven't set foot in Sta. Cruz Island. Poor me, I know. My Mom and her brothers used to go there a lot when they were teens. And now is the only time that I can do so. I even went to some beaches in Basilan, but I just got to see a glimpse of Santa Cruz. Even if it is a little late, I am still glad that I had a day to unwind with Mom and my cousins.
My cousin gave me a sea urchin shell and there were tiny hermit crabs inside. I released them back in the ocean before we left the island.
Here is my collection of seashells that my cousins gave me.
And these were the books that I brought along to read so I could enjoy an unplugged day.
