The picture shows all that remained of the church built by the Jesuits at the turn of the 16th century at the original site of the town of Carigara. This piece of rubble may have been the altar, a shallow pit at the heart suggesting where a religious icon might have lain. Blessed June 2000..

This is the famous "Pantalan", believed to be the longest of its kind in the Philippines, also well known as lovers lane during my time, ha ha. A very popular boulevared during cool moonlit nights.

The boulevard at dawn, a nice time to walk, jog or just spend the early morning with the family.

I've heard a lot about this Boulevard and finally experienced it, a great place to spend an early evening with friends. The tents go up at dusk and lasts as long as customers are around.
