Yesterday, I joined my high school BFF Luti and her family on a roadtrip to Batangas. We visited our friend Mabs’ farm, and incidentally, their minor basilica was celebrating the feast of their patroness, the Immaculate Conception.
We started our day with brekkie at Mc Donald’s.
We visited the Minor Basilica of the Immaculate Conception at Batangas City to celebrate the fiesta.
It’s a stunning church which really inspires the faithful to pray and give thanks.
We stopped over at a local store to buy barako coffee and delicacies.
Then, it was time for lunch at Mabs’ family home!
Our high school friend Mabs and her family are now based at Batangas City. She works at the University of Batangas. Her home is charming and cozy. We definitely enjoyed our fiesta meal!
We also got to tour their backyard farm and even pick some produce, such as pomelo, dalandan, and kamias.
We also got to feed fruit peelings to their ducks and turkeys.
We got to take home some fresh fruits, and as a city girl, this was a real treat!
I ended my day with a street food dinner at UP...
...and mass at Parish of the Holy Sacrifice.
I definitely had a memorable feast day, and it was more special because it was spent with friends who are family. I hope that I will experience more feast days with fun company in the future.
