My first visit to Puerto Galera was December 28-31, 2004 together with my two college friends. Last June 05, Mark (a fellow photographer and choirmate) and I went (unplanned) to Puerto Galera for a two-day photoshoot. Early in the morning, we rode a bus from Buendia going to Batangas Pier then boarded a pump boat directly to White Beach.

Street scenes… walking through Champs de Elysee, Academie Nationale de Musique, Hotel California, Moulin Rouge, Magdalenae Church, train stations..
Rue dela Pompe - a train station near to my newfound friend’s home - Celine (a sister-in-law of my officemate here in KSA)- who offered her flat for us to stay in (together with two of my choirmates) while we were in Paris. She stayed on her friend’s home almost of the time and just visited or called us if we’re doing fine. I love her place because we can see the Eiffel Tower from her window. Thanks again Celine 
I will never walk through the streets of Moulin Rouge again… Hahahaha…
As you can see, they (French) commonly use motorbikes and European cars (small cars )as a means of transportation.
Paris - Versailles
This is the place that Ebb Tide (thanks again) told me not to miss out when visiting Paris. Some of my choirmates went there around afternoon, we actually don’t know how to get there. We just depend on the map that we had on our hands and rode a bus then a train. We thought that we were lost because it was a long travel. Later we know that the place is outside Paris and the last station is Versailles.
Before entering the place we paid an entrance fee I forgot how much within the station then proceed a long walk to reach the palace.
All I can say is “WOW and more WOWS” until now. The area is very wide that we failed to wander for a half day. The gardens were so lovely, though I haven’t seen it all.
For those who are planning to visit Paris don’t miss Versailles on your list.
Versailles - a palace built in the 17th century for Louis XIV southwest of Paris near the city of Versailles .
The Château de Versailles — often called the Palace of Versailles, or simply Versailles — is a royal château, outside the gates of which the village of Versailles, France, has grown to become a full-fledged city.
Paris - Louvre Museum
The Louvre Museum (Musée du Louvre) in Paris, France, is one of the largest and most famous museums in the world. The building, a former royal palace, lies in the centre of Paris, between the Seine river and the Rue de Rivoli. Its central courtyard, now occupied by the Louvre glass pyramid, lies in the axis of the Champs-Élysées, and thus forms the nucleus from which the Axe historique springs.
The museum is open to the public from 7:30am - 10pm everyday, but that time was closed because it’s a national day. So we just walk around and took photos in every corners.
Paris - Eiffel Tower
When I think of Paris… the first thing came to my mind is the Eiffel Tower.
The scene (life size replicas) at the top of the tower covered by fiber glass, reconstructed by the Societe’ Nouvelle d’ Exploitation de la Tour Eiffel, is of Thomas Edison’s visit on 10 September 1889.
Gustave Eiffel, represented here in the company of his daughter Claire, had prepared a small apartment at the top of the tower where he welcomed prominent guests for intimate receptions.
The Eiffel Tower (French: la Tour Eiffel) is a metallic tower built on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France, and is nowadays the most famous landmark and symbol of Paris. At the time it was built (1889), it was the tallest building in the world and remained so until 1930. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, it is a premier tourist destination, with over 5.5 million visitors per year.
