VACATION UPDATE!

Back home and back to my cat :DD. What a great vacation! as the saying goes "things go a little bit better when you plan it". Everything went exactly as I planned the trip to go. First we had to take a 10 hour trip to get there. The trip was so long, spending 10 hours in a car with my family members and some food. Every now and then having to stop the car to give me a chance to bless some nature with some rain. Made sure to empty the back room before we went. Didn't want to bless nature with fertilizer. Even after those 10 agonizing hours let me tell you, it was worth it. The heat of the summer revealed the beauty of the flatlands. The road was beautiful, lined with old spanish buildings and carrousels. Big warning for anyone visiting there's a lot of scammers. Aside from that the nice view and experience was beautiful and most definitely worth it.

Once we arrived we didn't waste any time. We immediately rode a carrousel owned by my uncle, it went around 2 blocks and described the buildings to us. after that we went to get some food. The empanadas were ABSOLUTELY terrific, the fish was fresh as can be and the coke -- well it was coke on a hot summer day ofcourse it was good. After that we went to the museum . Absolutely amazing, the animals looked like they were still alive and I couldn't believe the size of them. I think this was to most worth while experience, reason being that any other museum in my local area would never compare to this, to me this memory would serve as a standard when visiting other museums. Lastly, the beach. Words wouldn't be enough to describe it, the clear waters, the soft sand, and the tranquility was so refreshing. Yes it was my first time seeing white sand.

alas the end comes for everything, and my vacation is not an exception. Vacation's over and we're heading home, good bye steamy, meaty, creamy, delicious empanadas. Hello cool breeze, pine trees, and my mom's cooking.

My plans for the holy week

Lets dive right in!

My family on my grandmother's side just invited me out for the holiday. This is very rare for me, not just the fact that my anti-social family just decided to go on an outing, or the fact that I just got invited to it, or the fact that i'm actually going, but the fact that I decided to go with them :DD. For the first time in my life I am in a position to be able to accept an outing invitation stress free without worrying about the people i'm leaving home.

Since This is such a rare opportunity I decided to make the most of it, and to do this I need a plan. Most of my week is going to be spent in Vigan City, a very esteemed and popular location for tourist. I'm looking forward to being able to visit the attractions but to be honest the thing I look forward to the most would be the food.

My plan to spend the vacation as best as I can is this: 1. Visit Calle Crisologo -This is the most popular tourist spot in Vigan AND RIGHTFULLY SO! the old fashioned design of the spanish era and the opportunity to ride a Callesa. Just the kind of atmosphere to start my vacation, making my mind realize that for the first time in a long time I am free from the shackles of homely responsibilities 2. A trip in history, The Philippine National Museum -I've always been an admirer of history, too bad the spaniards took all of ours away HAHA! BUT EVEN SO our history with them has been a part of history that could never be erased and the beauty in seeing whats left of our history and the dirty history left by them is, in my opinion, it's own kind of beautiful, the yin and yang of our past. 3. Swimming in Mindoro beach - The last day of my vacation should be celebrated in a recreational way, enough about the philosophy its time to sooth my body. The mindoro beach, a beautiful natural heritage located in vigan, The PERFECT place to end my vacation, putting my body at rest along with the memory of this beautiful vacation brought to me by the holy week. Hopefully all goes as planned XD. May everyone have a great Holy Week!
