Garden paths: "Escapade to Baguio part 2"



The cool breeze of Baguio woke me up with a smile and turned myself to be excited for the next journey we had. A cup of coffee will really start your day to ease the coldness of dawn until you feel the first rays of the sun. On the second day of our escape to the summer capital, we visited the Mines View Park.


There are lots of picturesque scenery you can find there. Actually, you will be amazed of different spots for picture taking. Also, you can find lots of goodies for memorabilia and for the nostalgia, all showing the rich culture of Baguio City. The photo below shows a view of different houses that looks like a connected Lego pieces.


A view of the mountains just very near the clouds and fog. Imagine the top of the mountain kissing the cool breeze of clouds. Rains fall down easily in Baguio and that helps a lot in maintaining its cool temperature.


Many jewelry lovers will also love a place of silver choices and ornaments for accessories.


Next stop is the Wright Park wherein I myself got fascinated with the horses. Horses there comes in different colors, really amazed me a lot. The staircases are also picturesque, much of a really good experience.


I also had a chance to see the front view of The Mansion. This is the official residence of the president whenever he is having a visit to Baguio or in some nearby areas attending functions and gatherings.


In the Botanical Garden, feed your eyes with different plants and flowers and enrich your sight with spots and scenery.

Shopping! There are lots of stores wherein you can buy different native products, all capturing the culture of this city. Delicacies such as strawberry wine, peanut brittle, strawberry jam and others are surely mouth-watering.


The Philippine Military Academy is also situated here. Here you can find a very large camp and training area for the country's future defenders.


Alright, so enough for the second day. I will now ride this white horse to drive me in this sunflower path to look for 'zombies on the lawn.'
