USS Constitution
3 savesRecommendation by Lemi
We end our pilgrimage on The Freedom Trail at the USS Constitution. Climb aboard this historic warship (called a frigate), where the masts loom high into the sky and the canons still look poised for battle. Before being docked at the harbor, the frigate traveled the West Indies (Caribbean), Brazil, and Africa. It fought in a war against pirates, where it earned a legendary reputation. Instead of being pierced by the cannon balls hurled against it, the heavy ammo bounced right off its sides. Our friend from earlier, Paul Revere, also had a hand in its construction as he smithed the copper fastenings. Now, the USS Constitution is a water-faring attraction that lends a peek into life at sea.

Hey there! Are you ready to go on a beautiful escape with me this time? If yes, then prepare yourself for a one great kind of adventure! Life is so much better if you’ll just try to look at it in different angles. May it be north, south, east or west, life offers you so much to explore and experience. Well, luckily today, I’ll be taking you on a beautiful escape in Intramuros. Intramuros, or the ‘Walled City’, is one of the oldest districts of Manila, built on the south bank of the Pasig River around 1571. It was built by the Spaniards – more specifically by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi – and is bound on all sides by moats and thick, high walls, with some over 6 metres high. Aside from it’s rich historical and cultural highlights, Intramuros is a place where you can experience how it feels like to travel using a time machine. It shows you a lot of things to reminisce including events that in one way or another made an impact to who we are today. So if I were you, go and visit Intramuros - a place that will make you feel good and deeply proud that you are a Filipino. ⛪️🍃
