Swimming with the Whale Sharks, Donsol – March 15, 2009

Posted by Lakwatsero on Aug 21, 2011 in Beach, Roadtrip, Travel, Trek | 0 comments

The day after our tour of Mayon Volcano and Vera Falls, we were now up and ready to go swimming with the Whale Sharks or “Butanding”. People have said that the best time to go to Donsol is between February to April when the Whale Sharks pass through and are plentiful. We had to get up for our van’s 5am pick up as we started on our 2.5 hour trip to Donsol fom Legazpi City.

Mayon Volcano, Bicol – March 14, 2009

Posted by Lakwatsero on Aug 21, 2011 in Roadtrip, Travel | 3 comments

I started my travel adventures on a “dare” to visit Taal Volcano in December of 2008. This was followed a week later by a trek to Mt. Pinatubo in January 2009. Thus was born a temporary love affair with volcanoes. I thus decided that I wanted to finally see the iconic Mayon Volcano. So after the Pinatubo trip, we went to PAL and booked flights to Legazpi City for a weekend trip from March 14-16, 2009. On this trip with me are Jasper Jugan (The Backpack Boy), Kent Macatangay, and Dru Leonardo.

Legion of Honor, San Francisco–June 15, 2011

Posted by Lakwatsero on Jun 15, 2011 in Historical, Roadtrip | 0 comments

On my way back from trekking around the Muir Woods, north of the Golden Gate Bridge, I was passing through the Presidio when I decided to make a stop at the “California Palace of the Legion of Honor” (or just shortened to “Legion of Honor”), particularly to take a picture (or series of pictures) of The Thinker replica by the sculptor Auguste Rodin.
