Yesterday, Tita Helen and I pushed through with our last-minute summer activity. We wanted to wrap up our summer with a short adventure outside the busy metropolis. The trip had long been in our schedule. We just thought of having it during Independence Day since it’s the only holiday in early June, plus I wanted Tita Helen to have a long birthday celebration hahaha.
So off we went to Villa Escudero, a historic coconut plantation in Tiaong, Quezon, reminiscent of the rural life of the 1800s. We have chosen it because it is just a two-hour drive from Manila. It was my third visit. It was Tita Helen’s first. We were excited to reach the place so we can do the different fun-filled activities and we also wanted to test my new Sony cyber-shot W30.
Here are the highlights of our day tour:
1. We visited the family museum which houses archaelogical artifacts and relics. Most of the items are religious statues. The museum looks like a church (or was it formerly a church?)
