Photos Of My Grand Children Vacation in Marinduque

Getting Ready for a Round Trip Tour of the Island Via The Jeepney. The Jeepney  is a type of public utility vehicle (PUV) that serves as the most popular means of public transportation in the Philippines.

In my previous postings, Marina sent me photos from their recent vacation in Manila and surrounding Suburbs.  They stayed in the big city for 3 days and went to Marinduque- the location of Chateau Du Mer- my former retirement home and beach house in the Philippines.  Alix was with her husband Brendan. Marina was with her partner Wyatt. Philip went along with them. They send photos of the Beach house, and the tourist spots they have visited in the small island of Marinduque. Marinduque is often called the Heart of the Philippines and the Lenten Capital of the Southern Tagalog Region  because of it annual celebration of the Moriones Festival during Easter Week. Here are some of the photos of their trip.   

    Mt Malinding and White Beach, Torrijos, Marinduque ( below is my own photo)

For comparative purposes, the following are photos of Chateau Du Mer in the Years of its Grandeur. I encourage you to open it and ponder at the dramatic difference when a place is maintained as a residence and business compared to when it is vacant with no daily personal care and maintenance.
