A piece of Paradise – BC Resorts
(google image)
I’m all go for island trips and outdoor adventures especially if it’s summer time…our summer hasn’t been so giving so we went out to a trip and visited mom-in-law. Too bad that the weather is the same as in Vienna. 
My brother who lives in Canada has been sending us photos of their trip to Western Canada and I’m all envy. BC Resorts, for example, promises golfing, boat tours, view of orcas and bears and spa retreats. An adventure and wellness getaway for the whole family…
My hubby is fortunate enough to be visiting in October…the kids and I would be left behind — school matters alright, but next summer would hopefully be full of promise.

Liwasan (Square)
Noong isang linggo ay maaamoy ang kung anong mabaho nagmumula sa labas ng aming bintana. Maririnig din ang mga ibong parang nagsasabong sa kaingayan. Nag-imbestiga ako kung ano ba ang mayroon at laking gulat ko ng nakita ko ang mga kalapati na namugad sa aming balkon. Ang mabahong amoy ay galing sa sulok ng bintana kung saan tumatambay ang inahing kalapati, syempre pa ay umiipot ito at naipon na doon.

Hindi naman maaaring iparenta sa mga ibong ito ang aming balkon kaya pinaalis namin sila at nilinis na namin ang pinagpugaran. Pasensiya na ayokong magkasakit ang aking mga anak sa dala nilang sakit. Masaya naman ang mapaligiran ng mga kalapati lalo na kung sa isang malaking liwasan gaya sa larawan. Ito ay sa Piazza St. Marco, Venice na kagaya ng ilan pang liwasan sa ibang bansa ay pinagpapasyalan di lamang ng turista maging mga kalapati din.

Madalas sinasabing wag papakainin ang mga ibong ito dahil sila din naman ang nahihirapan, sa dami ng pagkain nila ay nahihirapan na silang lumipad at pagdating ng taglamig ay natutuluyan ng manigas sa kabigatan. Gayunpaman ay di maiiwasan lalo na ang mga bata na pakainin sila.

Kiev Adventure
I was camera-less for the last week of March because hubby went to Ukraine and brought both our snappers with him. Well, I wouldn’t really complain because he came home with loads of photos and other stuff. I’m happy because I’m not just a photography and travel bug, I’m a history buff too!
St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery
Above is a functioning monastery in Kiev. The monastery is located on the Western side of the Dnieper River, one of the major European rivers. The monastery was built during the Middle ages, as early as 1713! Just like many key landmarks around the world, it has been demolished (gotta hate war and politics for that). Thank goodness Ukraine gained its independence in 1991…the plans that has been going on since the 1970s finally saw fruition. The Domed Cathedral was opened again on May 30, 1999. Now, here stands a Baroque structure that though I didn’t see personally, is surely stunning even against the gray skies.
Photo above is somewhat a curious train station or so that’s how it appears to me. This obviously draws tourists as hubby caught someone taking a photo too. (I’m gonna ask him tomorrow what and where this particular place is.)
So aside from the photos, hubby got me a Zorki 1 model (1948–1956) (in Russian: Зоркий, meaning sharp-sighted). Zorki is the name of a series of 35mm rangefinder cameras manufactured in the Soviet Union between 1948 and 1978. Yes, it’s antique and I’ve yet to know its capacity. 
I’m excited to be in a darkroom again and develop films and print them on my own…but I’ve yet to find black and white films. lol. (Hidalgo, where we buy those, is not reachable with a taxi-ride anymore.)
He also took home Faberge egg replicas, a Kyiv shotglass and beer glass and those Russian dolls or what my kids call Babooshkas, akin to Matryoshka dolls. One of the eggs (they serve as jewelry/trinket box) will be gifted to an aunt so I chose white when hubby asked which one should be left for us. The Matryoshka would be for mom-in-law (who will be coming over today to spend the long weekend with the kids). She collects those, as I remember, my daughter during her younger years used to play with her collection whenever we’re at her place. Dawty would take out each doll from the bigger doll and line them up like dominoes. She would stack them again inside afterwards, run to me and would show me the “whole” figure again.
I thanked hubby for the presents and the photos as well. I’d be all the more happier if he remembered to get me what I collect in our travels: snow globes. (Talk about being thankful!)
Little boy and babooshka.

What could be fresher than a bottle of water after hours in the water? Ironic, even though you’ve been in the water you can’t drink it.lol. So here’s the little boy with his bottle after tiring himself…swimming a bit, following daddy as he swims, searching for shells and jumping up and down! In those few hours, he was burned brown…well, freshly baked by the sun!
