It's Sunday and it means we can visit the National Museum for free! Cutting the intro short, here are some pictures to tell our story...
Our family enjoyed looking at a wide variety of paintings, sculptures, and other art forms by Filipino artists including Luna, Hidalgo, Rizal, Francisco, and Amorsolo as we indulge in the rich history of the Philippines.
Our "adopted" family member for a few days, Ninya, made our visit even more memorable. We spent time sharing knowledge on history, geography, arts, culture, etc. The reason why we were at the museum in the first place was to give her a simple tour of Manila.
James and Adam enjoyed the Shipwreck exhibit the most, seeing all the cannons and cannon balls!
Different species of plants and animals were also displayed and the boys got a kick from the animals preserved in jars such as geckos and snakes as well as the stuffed flying lemur and tarsier. James had a closer look on different kinds of grasshoppers and tried to find their differences from each other.
In between explorations, we also had some treats! Cesar enjoyed playing with the ice cream vendor's baby. I love that about him!
At around 5PM, we left the museum and gave Ninya a quick tour inside Intramuros, the walled city. We headed to Quezon city and enjoyed a dinner of spaghetti and garlic toast with Cesar's family. Cesar's friend, Jerome, also dropped off some scratch paper for the boys.
