Lucban trip

Date: Saturday, May 14, 2005

It was one of those unplanned trip our family usually have so nobody’s surprised anymore when my parents announced at 11 in the evening where we’re going the next day.

Date: Sunday, May 15, 2005

Destination: Lucban Quezon to visit the now-famous Lucban Grotto :)

We left the house at around 4 in the morning. Papa decided to take the Nagcarlan - Liliw road going there to avoid the traffic jam. Since it was an early morning ride, everything seemed fresh. People were helpful whenever directions were asked. Even the plants opened up to welcome the sunshine.

1st stop: Lucban Quezon (Pahiyas 2005 Festival)

We arrived at the San Isidro Labrador Church at exactly 7:15am just in time to attend the later part of the mass.

Lucban is ever famous for its colorful kiping, which the town folks use to decorate the façade of their houses. If I’m not mistaken I think the local government annually gives award to the most beautifully decorated house. So we went around to observe the designs. Among them all I prefer these two:

On the road going to the Grotto, breakfast was served by mama with oatmeal, tart, puto kutsinta and pansit hab-hab on the menu :)

2nd stop: Lucban Grotto

The Grotto’s amazing. Picture? Here:
