Photo Hunt: Old-Fashioned


This is the "bahay kubo" or nipa hut that is in my parents' garden. In rural provinces in the Philippines, this was the native house. This particular one has been stylized of course. This is me, DH our 3 kids(we only had 3 at that time) and my mom when we visited Manila in 2005. DS and DD1 loved playing there. They had their own mini park! LOL!

I love it. I am posting late today since I just got of the Carnival Freedom and their first annual Bloggers Cruise, 700 bloggers on board, it was fun, next one from New Orleans in February 09.

That is really cool. I would love to see something like that in real life. A very nice traditional and old fashioned thing for you, and new to me who has never seen one.

Another nipa hut and I'd never even heard of them before today. A lovely spot to relax with your family.
Thanks for the visit and have a great weekend.

What a great spot to curl up with a good book or just lie down and daydream.
