Enthralled by Caleruega

After enduring a minimal amount of sleep, we still took a road trip on a bright Sunday morning going to ...


Caleruega, which is in Batulao, Batangas, is a haven for retreats and reflection activities, as well as for memorable nuptials. As seen on the pictures above, we went to the hanging walkway, where serene koi ponds can be seen. You can smell fresh air as you stroll through the brick-lined pathways and flowery gardens. Very inspiring! We weren't able to explore much of the breathtaking place, but we were able to appreciate our short visit there.
Our main reason why we went there: to buy some pesto sauces sold by the nuns. They sell different sauces and dressings (which taste really good!). They even sell freshly harvested lettuce. I was able to taste the sun-dried tomato pesto sauce with some saltines... pretty delish! Of course, I bought one for my pasta recipe. :-)
On our way back to Tagaytay, we stopped to take photos with the lush farmlands behind us ... in one with nature!



A little bit of trivia: the house behind me, Dave and Achi ... that was the love nest of Sharon Cuneta and Richard Gomez for the 2000 Star Cinema movie, "Minsan, Minahal Kita".
Showbizzzzz! :-P
