Afternoon trip to Cordova February 5, 2006

No. I don’t mean that city in Spain. I’m referring to the only other local government unit in Mactan, an island east of Cebu, aside from Lapu-Lapu City.
I live in Lapu-Lapu City and I work in a company that is located three cities away. Cordova is less than 30 minutes travel from my home yet the last time I remembered going there was some eight years ago.

So yesterday, out of the blue, I told my husband that we should go there. So off we went.

Because it was late in the afternoon already, we decided to go directly to the town center, which we had trouble finding because the town has sprouted several roads that branch off in various directions. There used to be only one main road that led to the town hall.

We took pictures of the church, the public park, and the markers to the chest that the mayor and people of Cordova buried in the plaza on January 1, 2000 with instructions that it be dug up 100 years from then or on January 1, 2100 by the future generation.

Hungry after our trip, we stopped by a roadside eatery that sold grilled pork and chicken and had dinner for only 85 pesos.
