Cadiz Old Port

I decided to take a few shots while crossing over this bridge in Cadiz City. They recently constructed a huge port on the other side of this channel.

Its weird going back home after almost 10 years. Im dazed and confused the first half of my trip... observing mostly with little participation.

Cornell Swimming Pool

Nostalgia once more! Pano shot from the top floor of Cornell Swimming Pool. 10 minute drive from our Cadiz vacation house. This is my happy place. Almost drowned several times when i was a kid, but its all good.

There used to be a diving board and used to be a lot deeper over 10 feet deep. Now they constantly shallowed the whole pool to about 5 feet.

Thats my cousin Basti in the middle of the pool.

Hand held pano shot and stitched using CS2. I really can't spend more than 10 minutes on each photo so pardon me for imperfections.

Chicken House Inasal

Bacolod's Finest barbecue chicken (Inasal) can only be experienced at "Chicken House". Is it just me or the rice itself tastes 10 times better? I kid you not!

One thing I truly miss about Bacolod is the local flavor, and your experience would not be the same without dining at "Chicken House".

Tell them that Leo sent you and get a discount! JK.

Talisay Ayala Plantazionne Club House

Quiet neighborhood and 10 minutes away from the hustle & bustle of Bacolod's laid back lifestyle. Truly impressive to see such developments in Bacolod.

Like they always say around here, "Everywhere in Bacolod is 5 minutes away". This is a bit far don't you think? Seriously?
