Hello Abucay!

My first week of December had been an eventful one. Rose took us to her hometown in Abucay, Bataan for the weekend. We travelled 4-5 hours  without traffic. The fun part of our trip was a stop over in a restaurant in Pampanga. We ordered the ever famous Sisig. The one that we ate was not served in a sizzling plate and there was not much onions in it. It was just pure sisig. Its very delicious.

We went to Raven Resort. It was a nice place with plenty of swimming pools. What attracted me the most are the log cabins. Its very different from the usual resort that I have been to especially the ones in Laguna.

The owner's house is an attraction itself. It was a very big log mansion. Too bad, I was not able to get inside their home. There were even monkeys and birds in the place. It really made feel like I was in a ranch. The only thing missing that will complete the western ambiance are horses and cowboys.

We also went to the town proper of Abucay. The provincial setting was complete which reminded me of my home in Albay. There was the church, the plaza or the park where we bought barbecue, the market and the ancestral home of Rose. Most of the furniture showed signs of antiquity especially the cabinet in their old room. It gave us a creepy feeling when we saw it. It can even be use as a set prop for a horror movie.
