Why I get up at sunrise on vacations
In the Philippines, I woke in the darkness to the sound of the rooster crowing.
On vacations, especially at a beach, I always get up at sunrise.
Regardless of what time I go to bed, or if I go to bed at all. It’s just so ingrained in me, that eagerness to make discoveries in a new place. My husband thinks I’m nuts but I’m slowly converting him to my sunrise club.
In the Philippines I knew I was back home when I woke up to a rooster crowing. Some people might consider roosters annoying, but I love that sound.
For me, sunrise holds many delights.
A quiet beach empty of sunbathers.
Low tide revealing gorgeous shells.
Fishermen scouring the shallows and casting nets.
