The Ultimate Summer Trip (Day 6): Tagaytay and Aguinaldo Shrine

Read about the entire 6-day trip here.

Hi, everyone! We must all be aware of the bad events in Nepal, Baltimore, and about our very own, Mary Jane. The best news of the morning is that Mary Jane's execution has been postponed. Praise God! I believe in the Prince of Peace and the God of Justice, and because the world is an imperfect one, justice may possibly not be served here. But I know that justice reigns in Heaven.

As much as I would like to keep talking about current events, I need to finish some blog posts before I finally take my hiatus this week. So today, I will be sharing with you some photos from the last day of our Ultimate Summer Trip when we went to Tagaytay and Kawit, Cavite.

Tagaytay

Our driver took us to People's Park to view Mt. Taal. We didn't know that it would be very far away from the volcano and we didn't anymore have the time to look for another venue as we needed to be in the airport at 3 pm. While the weather was quite hot during that day, unfortunately, when we got to the viewing area, there were clouds covering Mt. Taal. 

So the only thing I have is this super zoomed in photo:

No, that's not a "kamot-ulo" pose! It was just really really windy!

After walking around and buying some souvenirs again, we proceeded to our next destination.

We spent more time here in Aguinaldo Shrine than in Tagaytay as there were more things to look at (obviously). We were also toured around by a kindly old man. Actually, everyone "working" in the museum are old men - are they real life Monuments Men or something? Haha! Anyway, it was a really pleasant experience to see our nth museum, but this was different because there were even more historical lessons. There were also more amazing stuff like the bomb shelter!

Every old house that we went to showed the same architecture: a closed bottom that was supposed to store animals, cars, and the like, and a literally "open" area upstairs where all the living areas are located. We planned this summer tour to be a historical one and boy did we get our share of history!

After that, we went to MOA to have lunch and do a bit of shopping (but we were not able to buy anything since almost everything in MOA is available in Davao naman), and then we went to the airport. We then said good bye to Luzon but we couldn't wait to go home! No matter how much fun we have during travels, nothing will ever feel as good as home!
