2nd MFSM Congress

Hello Davao!

It was may be a year or more the last time we visited Davao. Since I became a mom, we haven't been to Davao. But good thing our son is a lot bigger now, so we could drag him with us on one of our adventure trips. His parents are real-blooded explorer. We love to go places and try something new.

After a long and stressful vacation at Manila, me and my 1 year old son was both excited to attend one of our daddy's mountaineering trips. Instead of climbing mountains and volcanoes (even active ones, tsk, tsk), they now are onto a two-day beach party at Samal, Davao. This is where all the mountaineers around Southern Mindanao gather and celebrate together. Take note: our son was recently hospitalized for a week. But then, it didn't stopped us from partying!

Armed with proper medicines and vitamins, we attented the 2nd MFSM Congress at Davao. The mountaineering conference was quite a bit successful. More than 1,000 participants joined the event. The 2nd MFSM congress was filled with fun and adventure. There was diving, rapelling, rope gliding, kayaking and other adventure driven-games like amazing-race (a triathlon like-competition). Gifts and prizes is also overwhelming. Beers also flooded (but of course, we never participated into drinking alcohol, lol). Our son danced the night away with up-beat reggae music. I must say that the organizer found the best band who entertained us that night.

And the beach? I guess, that was a bit discouraging. the waters a shore was full of trashes and twigs. as well as the beaches' sand. But then again, it didn't spoiled our day. Our son enjoyed swimming and playing with the sand.
