Craighead County Courthouse, Arkansas

After finishing our breakfast at IHOP, we went on our way. It was only 6:30 but the sun was already up, but vehicles on the road were scarce. Dad drove eastward and since I just picked a random historical site in the area, we ended up in the county courthouse. The streets were mostly one… Read More Craighead County Courthouse, Arkansas

Hetch Hetchy, California

Visiting Hetch Hetchy has been on my list for some time now. Since I did a little research about the lost valley, sunken underneath a reservoir. Also, my coworker, Kevin has been talking about it since I first mention it to him. It was New Year’s Eve, my parents and Sam (Ollie) decided we should go… Read More Hetch Hetchy, California

Colton Hall, California

After visiting the Monterey Base and the exchange, we went back to the hall we passed by earlier. We parked at the front and we were lucky there were still some spots left. Deelow and I have visited the place before in 2009, but we did not explore the building itself. So with Deelow, our… Read More Colton Hall, California

Government House, British Columbia

We woke up early in the morning and from Vancouver, Long and I drove southwards via Highway 99. It was still sunrise so there weren’t really a lot of vehicles. Our journey was smooth as we drove the highway trying to calculate kilometers to miles, we finally exit to Highway 17 which was more isolated… Read More Government House, British Columbia

Fort Gaines, Alabama

After Deelow got off work, we decided to visit one of the forts on the coast of Alabama. She mentioned it a couple of times, but her main purpose was the food in the area :). Also, her description of this area was wonderful. It was actually located in Dauphin Island, so we drove down the… Read More Fort Gaines, Alabama

Montana State Capitol, Montana

  After walking around the city and coming across its nice citizens, Long and I headed back to the car. But we first decided to look at the State Capitol just in case it was open. We walked through the snow pavements and passed by a statue of a man in front of the Capitol.… Read More Montana State Capitol, Montana

Stanford Mansion, California

Walking around this wonderful spring day around the Capitol grounds was refreshing. Yes the weather could be hot but the shades of trees surrounding the area were enough to enjoy the view. But we have to go to our next destination and that was the Leland Stanford Mansion State Historic Park located in N Street.… Read More Stanford Mansion, California

Fort Pickens, Florida

Deelow picked us up from our hotel in Ocean Springs and from there, Pensacola was more than 2 hours. Deelow has plenty of sights to show us promising the Pensacola beach is one of the most beautiful and clean beaches in the gulf. But since she knew I wanted to visit something historical before doing… Read More Fort Pickens, Florida

Baler, Aurora

After a couple of hours in Gapan, Nueva Ecija, we hopped on a bus going to Baler. It took us more than 3 hours to reach the town. Crossing the Sierra Madre was steep and difficult, because it’s a dirt road most of the way. The route was still untouched of modernity; the road was… Read More Baler, Aurora

So with Reina and Claudine, we visited Fort Santiago while waiting for Pabz. We took a cab… Read More Fort Santiago, Manila

Ermita, Manila

The district of Ermita in the heart of Manila was where I and Pabz misadventure began. I’m an avid fan of historical places as I mentioned before in my previous posts. The history of World War II and the destruction of Manila still amaze me. Pabz and I started around the Luneta Park but I… Read More Ermita, Manila
