Paloma property

This afternoon, December 27, 2008, after having luch in san Jose town, here in Negros Oriental, my father took us to a piece of beach lot he bought years ago in Sibulan town.
Sibulan is the next town north of Dumaguete City.
We call this the Paloma property because it was once before, the site of a popular beach frequented by bathers called La Paloma.
He wanted to show us the progress on the beach lot, which is around 1,000 square meters, after it was inundated by the continuing encroachment of seawater onto the property.
He built a seawall.
He fortified the lot so that the sands would not be continuously eroded.
Judging by the looks of the seawall, it must have cost some money.
It is built by huge rocks and cement.
The rocks according to my father were pushed and piled down the earth before cementing the wall.
In that way, the oncoming waves would impact the rocks, not the cemented seawall.
The rest house has aged.
We used to sleep over the rest house when Josh was just around one year old.
But the waves continuously ate up the sands, which prompted my father to just spend for a solid sea wall.
