Family trip to Baguio

Baguio is located north of the Philippines. A city situated on top of mountains that has " a spring time weather", not so cold and not so hot. It is  now summer in the Philippines and it is very, very hot hitting the  hottest temperature ever recorded this year is 36 degrees Celsius. So my sister and her fiance decided to have
a one-day cool off from our hometown and we have  an un-planned family trip to Baguio for a change.
It was  an eye catching the beautiful mountain scenery as we passed by. The big rocks that are keeping the mountains from eroding, the piled green trees used as belts, but what I like most as the van traveled was the cold breeze making our feelings better.

We went to Burnham Park, this is the common meeting place for the people to relax and to stroll to deprive the day's depression and to some is to kill the boredom just sitting there watching the passers and seeing the beautiful flowers planted around. Some go there to sell anything that can generate income, even the thieves and the pick pocketers are also there to make an easy money, eyeing for easy victims. Burnham Park has a man made lake.Since we had an ample time we decided to go boating and we had just  a half  hour boating thrill roaming around this little man-made lake.

Later on, the family decided to go to SM Baguio. SM is a chain of big and beautiful malls in the Philippines owned by the richest Filipino billionaire. Then at past 5 pm we headed home. Nice to have a cool change even just for one day. Hope to have another next time...
