The First 200 Kilometers


It's pasyalan blues once again, this time targeting the Province of Cavite. The day started with the family attending the 10am holy mass at Don Bosco Makati. That was shortly followed by the blessing of our new ride. The celebrant was Fr Manny Domingo who hails from Paniqui Tarlac (a small world indeed).

Then it was off to cool Tagaytay City for lunch at Leslie's Restaurant. Their specialty are bulalo, crispy pata and pinaputok na plapla but we only had the latter and sisig. Aside from the good food, the restaurant had a great view of the Taal Volcano.

Next up was Kawit town of Cavite to check out the Aguinaldo Shrine. The last time I saw the shrine was almost 10 years ago just 5 months after B5 was born. Traffic on the way there was moderate to heavy on a Sunday but it was worth it because my son was yearning to see it.

Our Cavite trip pretty much wraps up the first 200 kilometers of our new ride. More pasyal to come.

DYK:
1- Did you know that Taal Volcano is the world's smallest volcano? It's also one of the few volcanoes with a lake in its crater.

2- Did you know that Emilio Aguinaldo was the First President of the Philippines at age 32?
