at the baywalk in davao

this place seems to be an oasis here in davao. people frequently visit this place for varied reasons. to some, it is here they find true peace in busy davao. for some, to feel the fresh breeze which most people believe to be therapeutic. and to others like me, this place is simply like heaven on earth where one can renew our spirits. from this place, you can see the majestic mt. apo on the right side. while right infront is the beautiful island garden city of samal.

One of the reasons that throng of people troop into this place is the love for fishing. yup, most people do enjoy and bring the family together. honestly, its the kids who pulled me into this place because they too, love fishing very much. they developed the love on this while we were still in england. almost all over england, people of all ages spend their saturdays in the lakes and rivers. along the dike of the baywalk, you can see the tandem of fathers and sons, in some cases, fathers and daughters, throwing their hook into the sea. and the joy comes when a fish bites the bait and take the fish out of the water. the laughter, the joy really renews the spirits and strengthened the bond that ties the family together.

at 5 pm, the place is overflowing with people from all walks of life. people vending foodstuffs such as kwek-kwek, juice, etc are busy selling their goods. there are first-timers awed by such project which is initiated by a private person for public use. yet, this person has been restricted to further develop the place. gush, government sucks, really. the famous attraction in the baywalk is the 30- foot statue of david. yes, the world famous statue of david sculptured by michaelangelo. with all its nudity and art, its elicits different comments. others view it as a work of art. to some, it is obscenity. there is also a mini-zoo, of which the ostrich are famous. but what attracts most is the pond full of black-tip sharks. for me, this is the first time i have seen sharks that numerous swimming in the single pond, so close that you can even touch it.

yup, brother, bring our family together there and enjoy the place.
