Today we drove to Intramuros for a mini tour and for the most part had a lovely time. The sun wasn't too bright, the cobbled walks were pretty, and the La Pieta replica at the Manila Cathedral was enthralling. Some buildings in Old Manila, however, were terribly restored and still some others merely feigned antiquity. A few blocks from the Cathedral, too, the sidewalks were desecrated with garbage and reeked profusely.
But a walk in Intramuros is a walk of nostalgia. And so, as when we are leafing through the pages of our memory, we trekked only the paths which led to those which were beautiful.
Today was sort of a run-through for a 2-day trip we're planning this Christmas break. We intend to make a documentary film of it.
I'm quite excited. :)
