Dumaguete Boulevard, Philippines

Good evenings folks! It seems that it is time for me to go to bed now. Before I sign-off, let me share this image below taken in Dumaguete's famous boulevard in the Philippines. This was taken during my vacation this year. I miss the sea and the beaches there! Goodnight everyone!

p.s. sorry I have been busy the past days..that is the reason why there were no updates in most of my blogs.

Paradise Pier, Disneyland, California

Paradise Pier is a themed "land" at Disney's California Adventure Park, Disneyland's sister park. Its appearance is based on that of real California boardwalks. Despite its name and the presence of a nearby manmade lake, Paradise Pier is not actually a pier, but merely a waterside area of the park. The roller coaster California Screamin' sprawls across much of it, with various other attractions and forms of entertainment scattered around it.

Here is an image taken during our visit last 2008.

Hoover Dam in Nevada, USA

Good day folks! It seems that yesterday was April but we are all now in the month of May. It is currently raining in our place which make the weather a bit cold. My garden is happy again to have some fresh rainwater. I am not happy because the snails are also eating the leaves of my plants and flowers. I just can't stop them. I hope to go to the garden center this week to stop these snails.

Here are two pictures I took from Hoover Dam taken during my vacation to the United States two years ago. This is an amazing work of engineering and architecture! Respect to the engineers, workers, planners and supporters of this huge dam.
Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. When completed in 1936, it was both the world's largest hydroelectric power generating station and the world's largest concrete structure. It was surpassed in both these respects by the Grand Coulee Dam in 1945. It is currently the world's 38th-largest hydroelectric generating station.

Visit to Mother Shipton's Cave in Knaresbourough, England

I guess this is a perfect timing for today's meme entry. One year ago, as you can see the embedded date in the picture below, I had the chance to visit Mother Shipton's Cave in Knaresbourough, England. OOppss, sorry I guess I am wrong. I mean, we had the chance to go in front of her house because at the the time we visited it, it was still closed. I just took a photo instead because I have to hurry up to catch the train back to Birmingham in England. Those were interesting experience I had in England.

Weekend Escapades in Eremitage Palace in Bayreuth

Good evening everyone! I am quite tired now after having an escapade in Bayreuth here in Bavaria, Germany. We visited some gardens and palaces in this city. One of the palaces we visited is the Eremitage. My husband don't have the desire to visit the palace but after convincing him to drive for around 6 kilometers more from Bayreuth City Center, we finally went to the place. The palace is really worthy to visit. I love especially its royal garden.

I am sharing some photos for now since I already want to sign-off and take a rest. More photos and updates tomorrow in my other sites. Have a great evening and wish that you enjoy your weekend too!

taking a pose at the so-called Upper Grotto in Eremitage. This place was so amazing!

WW: Mother Shipton's Cave in in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, England

This is quite a scary wordless Wednesday! wink! just kidding guys! I hope you are all doing great out there! I got here a photo near the sign of Mother Shipton's Cave and the Petrifying Well. This cave is found in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, England and is known to be the oldest attraction of England since 1630. Isn't it amazing when you visit place like this! I am happy to visit this place but sad to say I don't have the chance to go inside the cave because the train where I will be riding back to Birmingham is leaving soon. here is a little info about this place.

Mother Shipton's Cave (or "Old Mother Shipton's Cave") is at Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, England, near to the River Nidd. Nearby is a petrifying well which has been a tourist attraction since 1630 due to its association with the legendary soothsayer and prophetess Mother Shipton (c. 1488 - 1561), born Ursula Southeil, wife of Toby Shipton. According to legend she was born in the cave. The cave and dropping well, together with other attractions, remain open to visitors and are run by Mother Shiptons Cave Ltd.

Paris Trip, I love it!

The month of March is almost ending in Europe. I hope that you had a great month for March. I also wish you another great month for April. As for me, March is another good month. I had some accomplishments for this month. Some of the accomplishments I considered are buying a small lot back home and my trip to Paris last Saturday. I know these are not really great accomplishments but at least I had done something which I can be proud of. Feel free to visit my other blogs for more updates especially my Euro Travel Blog!

You can see in the background of the photo the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. I am happy and contented to visit one of the dream cities I want to go. It was a great experience seeing one of the famous cities around the world.

I won't stay too long here because I am already very sleepy now!
I wish you good luck in the next month to come..The month of Tulips as I called it! take care guys!
