Tagaytay weekend with cousins!

Had a lot of fun again in Tagaytay - this time with cousins.  One of my cousins just visited from Davao and we showed her around the place.

First stop, Pink Sisters.  The place is very quiet and very conducive for meditating.  People come for prayers, special intentions and taking picture of the beautiful scenery.






Next stop, Tierra de Maria Haven of Meditation and Enrichment ,where there is the 50 ft statue of our Mother Mary.  It's also a place of prayer , meditation as well as healing.  There is a small chapel inside where special intentions are prayed.  I like the SMILE below her figure which says - Seeing Mama Mary is a Loving Experience.


The murals of the stations of the cross and the mysteries of the holy rosary
Third stop, Angels Hill's Retreat and Formation Center.  Notice that so far all are religious places.  Well, because they are nice places and because it's Lent.  So it was fitting to go also where we could pray.

The chapel with the statue of Archangel Michael in front
The retreat houses
Of course, it wouldn't be Tagaytay if we didn't go to Taal Vista Lodge.  It's one of my favorite places to go to when I'm visiting Tagaytay.  It is overlooking Taal Volcano and so very nice for photo ops. At the time, the fog was ready to go down and so it was a bit chilly.

Where kids love to roll and roll...

So then we got hungry and out of the many restaurants , we chose Mushroom Burger - Yum!
They also grow their own mushrooms.



Last stop , souvenirs ! There were key chains, caps, shirts, shawls, ref magnets, etc..


Enjoy !
