On our way to Santa Barbara we stopped in Oxnard to visit the de Ocampos who used to be my neighbors in the Philippines. Lelong Ago (Santi) and Lelang Ibang (Gene) were waiting to see us. We were eventually joined by their kids, Bobot, Auntie Belen, Steve and Angel. They brought us to a Vietnamese restaurant to have dinner. They were very hospitable and kind. I brought home a lot of plants from Lelang's garden. Orchids, succulents, seeds of various flowering plants and even kamote cuttings. Since I'm behind in writing this post, some kamote tops are ready to be harvested.
It was like being in Abulug again.
