Theme: Most Unforgettable Travel with Family
My sisters and I love to travel. When our schedules met like before I never miss the chance to travel with them. Gladly, those were some of the best days of my life especially when we climbed Mt. Apo, the Philippines highest peak.

Mt Apo, the Towering Beauty
When I look back at my life, I have been traveling quite well unfortunately I have not been documenting things properly. Luckily I found this old photographs. In the most, high time of my life, circa 2007, the eve of high and very low times, we went and towered our way to Mt Apo.
At the mountainous terrains in Digos we arrived at the foot of Mt Apo. We stayed for a while in house full of calla lilies and beautiful sunset settings. I look in awe for the beautiful creation.
Reaching Mt Apo in Digos trail is quite challenging. We stayed one night in a common camping place and had been merrily eating cup noodles with our guides and some solo traveler.
As our pace is not of the professionals we climbed an almost 90 degrees trail instead of passing by the easy trail among the boulders because we won't be able to reach our destination when there is still daylight.
Upon reaching the foot of the peak, we laid another night. I've never been to a snow country but I seem to think it feels like it. Our garments and a hint of alcohol were no match for the cold weather that seeps down to my bones. We were lying close to each other but nothing matches the cold. What more if I am going to a snow storm.
I was an early morning-riser. The world is seems to be underneath as I could grasp everything at the palm of my hands.
Time to set up for the peak and its inexplicable to every sense of the word.
Mt Apo has football field. It was said to be the previous crater of the volcano. I ran freely like a child on this wonderful God-created sight.
We head home. Going down was much easier and we were able to pass by the boulders, it thick sulfur smell and white ambiance which is very different from the greeneries not far away.
Amongst our family travel, this one is one of the most memorable.
