Overnight in Mati City










We had the pleasure to travel two hours from Tagum city to a smaller city on the coast fo the Pacific Ocean. Here are some photos from our brief stay there. The countryside lush countryside varied between rolling hills of banana plantations and coconut trees, with occasional glimpses of the Davao Gulf and the flat lands with fields of rice. We met a lot of great people in Mati city, including the Mayor who is excited about the prospects for Mati's future. We were also treated to a delicious welcome lunch of tuna sashimi, pork bellies, tuna jaw, a beef dish, and a cucumber salad. We saw a great variety of sights in Mati, from the public market, to coconut farms, a cashew farm, a beachside rest house, and even got to ride on pedicabs, known locally as tricycles.
