Our Visit to Beautiful Tagaytay

Here's our group at one of the gardens

 

On Saturday, December 21st we met the PEF Office workers and went down to Tagaytay. We first drove to the Area Office and got in a van with Elder and Sister Tenney and Sister Doig. We picked up Jib at Market Market Mall and then drove to SM Bicutan Mall to pick up Franco, his wife, and his mother. We continued on down the SLEX toward Tagaytay. It was a very nice day and we really enjoyed the scenery. We drove up into the mountains and saw pineapple farms and we even saw a carabao right beside the road.

 We drove through Tagaytay and were able to see Taal Lake and the Taal volcano.

 We went to Sonia's Bed and Breakfast to have breakfast. It was a buffet with small omelets, fruits, bacon and sausage, fish, and a few other things. They served us hot chocolate. The bed and breakfast has beautiful gardens around it. After we ate we walked around the gardens. It was a lovely place.

We left there and then drove to another garden that had a church up on a hillside. The view across the hills was very nice. We walked around these gardens and then walked around a koi pond. The weather was somewhat cooler up in the mountains, so we didn't get sweaty walking around. It was so nice to get outside and enjoy the views.

This is what we thought the Philippines should look like and we're glad we were able to go on this trip.
