Intramuros Sketches

Image
part of a gravestone sigil view of manila cathedral spires from fort santiago -during our visit, the manila cathedral was closed for renovation, we say, they they were removing more treasures buried beneath the church guardhouse at baluarte de santa barbara at sunset with manual roxas jr. bridge in the background top section of an old steam engine in my opinion, you will need a week maximum to get all the details you want to capture by camera or sketches or painting the trike tourist guides are actually not that bad, they know about 50% of the historical information and gives you discounts specially when you come from the same hometown or province as them, getting trike tours is the best way to get a quick over-all idea of the walled-city, then comeback as much as you want days after get everything you missed.

Ayala Museum Sketches

Here are some sketches from the ayala museum, no cameras are allowed inside, so i think i was lucky to have my panda ballpen in my pocket, and if the girls at the reception as you if you are a resident, say 'YES' or 'O-o' to get a big discount, of course you have to somewhat look like a filipino.

San Lorenzo Ruiz Minor Basilica Sketches

Image
one of the statues at the facade view of the basilica from ong-pin street get there the easy way: from resorts world hotel - take its free shuttle service to the lucky chinatown mall, and walk 7 mins from there. side note: it is sad how street people just pee on the big trees at the plaza san lorenzo ruiz, the government and the church people are not doing anything about it (as i see it) another side note: do not go to the ferry terminal to take the ferry across the river to get to intramuros, they stopped the service since 2009.
