#1118 - More of Baler Aurora Shots for Wednesday.

Happy Wednesday to our incredible Hive family everywhere! We are officially halfway through the week which is a great reason for us to smile. May your path be clear and your day be full of pleasant surprises. Keep being your amazing self😉.

Once upon a time when the sun was high up in the sky at noon time when my wife, my son and I found arrived at the charming town of Baler, Aurora. The heat was intense but we pushed to see the place. We started our adventure right in the heart of the town proper.

It was a busy little area with a mix of old and new buildings. We parked our workhorse and decided to walk around to get a real feel of the local vibe. The streets were busy and we enjoyed seeing the daily life of the locals. We took our time strolling, admiring the simple structures. We even passed by Baler Church and Doña Aurora house and also the Baler signage. Walking under the midday sun was tiring but a good stretch to our legs after the long drive.

After experiencing the town atmosphere, we hopped back into the car for a short drive to our next destination located up in the mountains. We went to the historic Ermita Hill.

When we arrived at Ermita Hill, we were greeted by a panoramic view of the vast Pacific Ocean. It was breathtaking. We parked near the entrance and began our exploring journey on foot.

We walked along the paved paths with several stations and stops along the way, each telling a story about the history of Baler.

It was a perfect afternoon of bonding and discovery for our little family. Exploring Ermita Hill was the highlight of our noon time in Baler.
