Practice Drive to Baras Bird Sanctuary

We were at Tacurong City last October 1 doing some field work. Since we finished our work early and we have nothing better to do, I asked my companion to teach me how to drive a four-wheel vehicle. Yes, I still don’t know how to drive one. Well, I never got the chance to learn since we don’t own any car. And it’s my thinking that when I have already bought one, learning how to drive would not be a difficult thing to do.

But that day, I must have felt so bored that I asked Romeo to teach me. We don’t know any open and wide space in Tacurong City where we can practice so I suggested the road going to the Baras Bird Sanctuary located at Bgy. Baras. The dirt road going there is straight and wide and there are few vehicles plying that route, just perfect. I’m good at playing racing video games that dot the video game arcade centers at NCCC Mall, Davao so it’s no wonder that I did not have any difficulty driving for the first time. If the road is straight and wide that is! I had a difficult time steering the curved and narrow road entering the bird sanctuary so I let Romeo do it for me.
