Have you ever been to Butuan City? Well, if you haven't, then you must because Butuan City is worth visiting for. You can visit many places like the Bishop's House, the Churches, the Lake Mainit, and many others!
Summertime in 2000 and Christmas season in 2001, our parents told me and my sister that we will be going to Butuan to visit our most Reverend Juan de Dios Pueblos, the Bishop of Butuan. He was the one who helped my mother a lot back when she was younger. I was overjoyed because that was my very first travel away from home. It was a 5-hour ride from Iligan to Butuan.
When we arrived, people in the house especially the bishop were very welcome to us. Me and my sister then immediately toured around the place because it was nice and big, it has fresh air because it is surrounded by different kinds of trees and plants, and they have different kinds of animals like iguana and turtles. Inside the house was very spacious and there were so many rooms for guests and for priests of course. We even played with a turtle, played chess and took pictures together with our father.

The next day, breakfast was served. There was one dish in the table that I didn't know what that was but it was really yummy but I was told later on that that was peach fruit. I wish to live there forever because they get to eat anything delicious but too bad I can't. :D anyway, we were then told by the bishop to get ready because he is going to give us a ride to visit the Church. We took pictures too.
This was taken last 2000. We danced "Come On Over" by Christina Aguilera at a church in Butuan City.

The next day, we went to Lake Mainit. That was a very cold day and it was a good time to go swim at the lake but we didn't brought extra clothes so it was useless. Instead, we took pictures. :D

On our way home, after staying in Butuan for a week, me and my sister couldn't stop talking about our experiences. Also, when we arrived home, we immediately went to our nanay's house and talk about everything we did and they enjoyed listening to us. :)
So, I think that's all I can remember. Actually, we're already planning to go back to Butuan this Christmas vacation or next Summer vacation because we really miss going there after all these years. But I wish we could go to other places also for a change like Manila or Japan (they're my favorites). :D
