This shot was taken outside the Monastery of the Risen Christ. It took us 2 hours (from Pampanga) to arrive at this little-known neck of the woods in the Tarlac mountains. The trip was worth it though. It was beautiful. The church had an actual relic of the cross (or so the story goes). There was also a giant Jesus statue overlooking the valley -- a'la Rio de Janiero. It was defintely a solemn place for prayer.

Being our first time to enter the church, we were, of course, entitled to the customary 3 wishes.
