and then you get to the ridge where you see this view:
lunch at mano's taverna was great, save for the fact that you couldn't pay by credit card. the moussaka and the gyros were great. and special mention goes to the home-made yoghurt drizzled with honey from the neighboring farm. the olive oil was great too -- mano, the owner, claims it comes from his very own olive plantation in crete.
after polishing off two gyros and a small pot of yoghurt by myself (and sampling everbody else's food, of course), i was ready to move. needed a breath of fresh air so i suggested we visit the site of our future town home. all the roads are done. check. all the cables and wires were laid underground. check. nice view of taal. check. country club. check. all that's missing is our house. haha. which i'm planning to design myself. not that i'm an architect or anything. i just have an eye for things, if i do say so myself. it has to have a spanish meditteranean look (as per the building code in the village) so i'm thinking clay tiles and wood. kinda like the clubhouse:
and after that bit, it was time to go home. back to the big bad city. but not before we stopped at the roadside to buy fruits.
it was a great sunday, all in all.
