We had a white surprise this morning when we woke up to unploughed thick snow on the ground. I can’t remember when was the last time we had snow in November, but in this period of global warming and all, it’s becoming rare to experience snow before December. But it’s always a good sight to […]
A Resting Place On The Hill
Time flies so fast, and it’s this time of year again when all Christians in the world celebrate All Saint’s Day, All Souls Day and Halloween. In my homeland, the Philippines, everybody loves the joy of visiting the cemetery to spend time with departed loved ones at this time of the year. Celebrating Halloween was […]

The Historical Pont du Gard in France
After an overnight stay in Nimes, France we drove to Vers-Pont-du-Gard, a town where the Pont-du-Gard is situated. The majestic aqueduct was built by the Romans in the first century AD.
