Roadtrip to Liliw Laguna









The town of Liliw is famous for it's shoe/slipper making industry, in fact, they even hold an annual Tsinelas  (slipper) festival, yesterday, the missus suggested that we drop by there so she could buy a new pair that would match the dress that she'll wear at our friend's wedding.  

It was about an hour's trip away from San Pablo City, but i remembered that they have a magnificant Catholic church there, and the scenery's pretty nice too -- and the fact that they also have a t little Italian resto that serves damn good food is not that bad either.

So we took the hour-long trip, too bad it was drizzling when we got there so i only managed to pull out the camera for a short period, and most of the shots was taken indoors, which reminds me that i really need to invest in a good prime lens and a decent speedlight.  But with the D60's VR, taking shots with the kitlens in lowlight still managed to churn out pretty decent results.

And at the end of the day, it was a worthwhile trip -- the shutterbug in me was pretty much satisfied, the missus' too, was pleased with the pair that she got, and my tummy was too -- with Arabella's Shrimp Fra Pomodoro, Pizza bread, and topping it all off with a coffee and chocolate cold drink -- chi mangia bene, mangia Italiano as they say.   But nothing still beats kaning lamig and my pop's guinataang tulingan.
