Carenna

I spent a few days in Munich, then met up with my moms friend to go to Garmish. On the way we stopped at the Neuschwanstein Castle (it was inspiration for the Disney castle). Then we went to Garmish to go to Zugspitze which is the highest point in Germany. We went to the lake right below it and stand up paddle boarded. The next day we went to Stuttgart where my mom's friend lives and went to the Mercedes Benz Museum. Then next day I took a bus to Strasbourg to see those pretty brown wood style houses, eat some French food, and practice my French.

You sent

Personal Note: I had a busy weekend here at THD. Saturday- A relative from Iloilo, Philippines now residing in San Jose visited me and treated me to a late lunch to Ima's Kitchen.

Today, Sunday- Dinah and I are going to a newly opened Dimsum restaurant here in Walnut Creek. I am so happy, I have again flown away from my gilded cage this weekend. Hoping everyone has a not too hot weekend. Stay in the Shade and Hydrate if you are outdoors.

Thank you Cousin Ceding for the visit and the TO GO Pinoy Dinner from Ima's Kitchen from Concord. Hope to see you again soon.

Chateau Du Mer Beach Resort and Conference Center

These are the reviews from from two of our guests published at the Trip Adviser web site. Visit the Trip Adviser website for additional details. 1.What a peaceful place to spend relaxing time in Marinduque! The cottage is very comfortable, and right on the beach, with a large deck for watching the sunset. The location in Boac (and not too far from Gasan) is well placed for a home base for day trips around Marinduque. But the best part of our stay here was the graciousness of the hosts, David and Macrine. They are warm-hearted, know the island well, and truly made us feel at home. Although we were there to explore the island and relax, the property has a great conference/meeting facility as well. Highly recommended. 2. Nestled against the beach, this cottage on stilts was a great place to spend a week away from all the insanity of urban life. With a spacious deck, two bedrooms, a living room and a full kitchen, my entire family truly enjoyed their stay. The hosts, Dave and Macrine do everything possible to make you feel like family, while still giving you space and privacy. The beach is all of 25 feet away and early morning walks on the beach are what I remember most. My kids were fascinated with the bamboo flooring. A reef is just off shore and filled with beautiful fish to enjoy while snorkeling. I would go back in a minute if I could.

I love Sunsets! How About You?

1. Sunset from Balcony of the Chateau Du Mer Beach House, Amoingon, Boac, Marinduque, Philippines Over the years, I have seen and photographed several dozens of sunsets in several countries that my wife and I have visited. We have been to Marbella, Spain, Rome, Italy, London,England, Vancouver, B.C., Cancun, Mexico, Aruba, Hawaii( Maui, Kawaii, Big Island), Puerto Rico and most of the US big cities, New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Chicago, Kansas City, St Louis, Miami, New Orleans, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, NV, Houston, TX and other small cities . But the two most beautiful sunsets that stir my emotion are the one at Amoingon Bay (#1- taken at the balcony of our Chateau Du Mer Beach house-top photo) and the one over Manila Bay(# 9 photo). You will probably say, I am partial since I am a Filipino-American, but judge it yourself. Above are ten of my favorite sunset pictures for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy! Comments, anyone?
