I encourage you to visit Corregidor. It is an unspoilt beauty, very rough edges - with weapons of war. Nature and men. Juxtapositions.
Battery. Huge guns. Heavy artillery. Caves of the Dead. Forests. Monkeys. Lizards.
Skittering animals.
Memorials. Honors. Agonies Remembered.
The white altar was the only one i remembered from the past. It seemed I had visited that place with my Dad, who was a WWII veteran. The white dome, the shaft of sunlight. that stung my memory.
Visit.
Remember the past. Remember the price of freedom.
Enjoy the beach. Have a barbeque. Enjoy the pool, too.
and if you are into it, there's a zip line.
the only thing i have to suggest - make it more friendly to individuals who are disabled.
soldiers may want to visit, and see the weapons of war then....
Pictures to follow. (i have to download from my cameras).
Things That Make My Day

Remembering my Dad, a Father's Day thought
Dad.
Everytime i write a post, or look at my old-style hand-written journal entries, i am reminded of my Dad.
He had a meticulously kept medical journal as well as a regular journal.
I was able to read one of his journal - on the Death March. Made me cry.
I was thinking perhaps other people might like to read it, so i am asking my Dad to send me a dream so i will know it is alright to have it published......
i havent found his other journals, but then i havent had the time to really go over the papers.
As for his medical records. i saw it, he would have time and date he had his bp taken, when he took what meds, and if there was any reaction.
