We live in one of the older if not oldest subdivisions in Antipolo City. Many parts of the subdivision are unoccupied and thick with foliage including many old, large trees like narra and acacia trees. The village also is said to be formerly a mango farm so there are many large mango trees, particularly the carabao (or kinalabaw) variety that yields large, yellow mangoes when in season. The smaller, younger trees are mostly Indian mangoes. I will feature various flowering trees in another article.

| What used to be an asphalted road is partly gravel after deterioration of the surface over time |

| Off the beaten path - a gravel road on the outskirts of the subdivision |

| The gravel road eventually leads back to the asphalt road and a populated area but somewhat hidden part of the subdivision. |
There are several routes that we usually take depending on our mood and available time for our walks. Weekday mornings and/or afternoons are usually for the typical 5,000 to 6,000-step route. We have to get back home in time for breakfast with our daughter who starts school at 7:50 AM. We reserve the weekends for the longer walks to the places shown above. It's quite easy to accomplish 10,000 steps in a day and we hope to continue this regimen even after the pandemic. More photos again soon!
