To make traveling your lifestyle isn't easy but its worth it! It’s not all about traveling, because life is twisty and long and ultimately travel is just one part of the human experience.
I read that “Life is not what happened to you but what you remember and how you remember it to retell it.” This is from Gabriel García Márquez.
At this stage of my life, I always remember things and places I love.
For beginning (again- I had my blog titled Arts & Travel Magazine, but didn't push through) my blog about arts and travel, I am now doing throwback memories :)
Here first.
Caleruega Church Nasugbu Batangas
I enjoyed the celebration of my nth birthday by fulfilling my wish to go to a very peaceful place, a church so beautiful and serene. I felt I’m near to heaven, near to God, one of the blessed places in the world – the Caleruega Church. Located in Nasugbu, Batangas, in a little bit off to Tagaytay City.
Just entering the place, you can see a colorful place of pathways with rows of flowers and wonderful green hills and landscape, in many directions are breathtaking sceneries. The chapel is in the top of the hill, it ‘s not so big, but the whole place, you’ll really feel close to nature, closer to God, in a peaceful beautiful paradise! It’s is a good place to be peace and quiet for better meditation. It is a “home amidst the beauty of nature where pilgrims are open to prayer, to creative transformation, to Gospel values.”
Throughout the years, the place was known for religious purposes. It is a perfect hideaway for retreats and recollections. It has been a venue for many activities, leadership seminars, and training, prayers and renewal workshops, youth camps, research, family /religious encounters.
And at present, it is also the favorite for weddings and most exciting moments for the wedding photoshoot!
There is a reception area in the entrance. Caleruega has many conference rooms; Reflectory Hall; Transfiguration Chapel; a 180-capacity dining hall; the Tuktok Snacks Bar and the Plaza de Aza, that is a roof deck which can be used as big-group gatherings ; dormitories called Catalina Hall and Tomasino Hall; Pahingalayan and Fra Angelico family rooms and hermitage cottages ; Gazekubo, for a wedding reception and a campsite called Kampo Arriba.
What a wonderful day !!!
The travel is only 2 hours from Manila and entrance to the vicinity costs Php 30.00.
