Field Trip

Since it was a holiday on Monday, Ish thought of visiting museums. N planned to go to the San Agustin and Casa Manila Museums. Too bad such museums are closed on a Monday (we were not aware of that). We then proceeded to Fort Santiago (the first for the kids and our angels) and learned something more about our national hero Dr. Jose Rizal. Josh really didn't enjoy that much again because of the smell. It was very clean and well maintained, but I don't know why the smell. Josh said Fort Santiago stinks and smells like manure. Probably because of the horses (calesa). Pasig River added to the stinky smell too, but overall it's still one of the best tourist attractions we have here in the Philippines.

After Fort Santiago, we went all the way to Mall of Asia to buy some additional school stuffs for Ish, we also had dinner there. Too bad we were not able to see the fireworks coz we were in the middle of dinner. I can say that this is a different kind of bonding for us, a first "cultural awareness" bonding for the whole family.
