Holy Week 2008: Day 1 (Maundy Thursday)

Our Holy Week outing this year started early. Lola Fely allowed us to deviate from our usual Visita Iglesia and so we were on our way to Pangasinan early Thursday morning.

The traffic along NLEX (North Luzon Expressway) was horrendous! The usual 1 hour drive from Balintawak to Dau Exit tooks us 3 hours! There goes our schedule for the week ...

We had a slight detour on our way to Pangasinan. We visited Apo Tina and had our breakfast in Pampanga.

Afterwards, we continued our trip to Pangasinan with stopovers to churches we passed along the way.

One of the churches we visited was St. Raymund of Penafort Parish in Mangatarem, Pangasinan.



Our plan is to go to Treasures of Bolinao in Bolinao, Pangasinan but the resort was fully booked as well as all nearby resorts and inn so we had to go to Travllers Lodge at Alaminos, Pangasinan first to spend the night. You might be wondering why since we are at Alaminos already, why not go to Hundred Islands instead? The answer: we went there already about 3 years ago. :D


The travel was a bit long since we had many stopovers to do our Visita Iglesia. We had our lunch at a highway restaurant. The food was a bit expensive but the views were great.
