Traveling to another place away from home is one way of getting all of the pressure off of your shoulders.


It is a great way to get your mind to think clearer when you arrive at a destination that is serene and new to your eyes. And speaking of serene or peaceful places, here in the Philippines, you will never run out of choices to visit.


When we speak of Manila, we imagine a place crowded with people, polluted with noise and traffic here and there. But what some people do not know is that numerous places outside the Metro are actually worth visiting to because of their beauty. Tagaytay is one spot that is visited by many for the reason that it has many great sceneries and a lot of fun things to do.

Last month, on March 27th, my Family and I had an exciting trip to Tagaytay.  I found myself standing in the serene surroundings of the Shrine of Our Lady, Mother of Fair Love, nestled within the People's Park in the Sky in Tagaytay. As I roamed my eyes over the lush greenery, felt the cool breeze on my skin, and gazed at the calming sight of the distant Taal Volcano, I was enveloped in a sense of peace and divine love that this spiritual sanctuary embodied.

 

In the silence of the shrine, I felt a deep connection with nature and a greater power. The tranquility of the place, coupled with the breathtaking view, stirred within me a sense of awe and reverence, making my visit to the Shrine of Our Lady, Mother of Fair Love, an experience I will forever cherish.

After we went to the people’s park in the sky, we also visited the Picnic Grove, where we discovered a delightful sight - horses seeking shade under the tall trees. It was such a peaceful and lovely scene that made us feel relaxed and joyful.


As we approached the horses, we couldn't help but notice their graceful presence. They stood there, calmly munching on grass, their gentle eyes reflecting a sense of calmness. The soft breeze rustled the leaves above, creating a soothing atmosphere. Watching the horses under the trees in the Picnic Grove was a magical experience, reminding me of the beauty and serenity of nature.

As we decided to explore more the Picnic Grove. We discovered a picnic hut that offered an incredible view of the sea and the magnificent Taal Volcano. It was a breathtaking sight that left us in awe of nature's beauty.


We couldn't resist the temptation to settle into the cozy picnic hut and sit in the mesmerizing scenery. From the comfort of our spot, we enjoy the scenic view at the sparkling blue waters of the sea, stretching endlessly before us. The majestic Taal Volcano, with its gentle plumes of smoke, stood proudly in the distance, adding a touch of mystique to the panoramic view. It was a moment of pure bliss, where we felt connected to the beauty of the world around us. Our visit to the picnic hut with the view of the sea and Taal Volcano in the Picnic Grove was a memory that will forever hold a special place in our hearts. (Reporting Shaira Badiana).
