Day 7
VILLA ESCUDERO
Arrival and Museum Tour


November 4, 2006

Our 3 hour drive to Villa Escudero in Tiaong, Quezon includes stops to roadside vendors of Philippine fruits..


Stores selling freshly picked lanzones from its trees...

line the roads to Quezon.

A miniature carabao-drawn cart greets us at the entrance.

We all gather ourselves at the arrival area not expecting all the fun we will have later!

First stop :
The Villa Escudero Museum



The museum is awesome with all of its historic, religious, political and contemporary artifacts some even dating back to times before christ.
After taking a tour of the museum, we saw the main residence of the Escuderos. Thereafter we took a ride on our carabao-drawn carriage to the main resort area.
"Pogi" which means handsome in the local venacular... brings us to the main resort located beside the river...
and the pool... Serenaders belt out Philippine folk songs...
as Ti Ester and Ti Nora join and start off with their concert. hehe The serenaders are dressed in Philippine farmer costumes.
It was fun riding a carabao-drawn carriage, but Seth and I prefer the Philippine jeepney.



Kindly click on Ti Ester's Concert photos to go Rafting...
