My trip to the town of San Luis has been set aside for the longest time. MY first attempt was the time i took the Baliuag route and ended up in the town proper and met Al Khalil Melencio. Then, i was forewarned by my boyfriend. And he doesnt like to travel. Hohum...a very good boyfriend indeed. LOLZ...According to him and the other Kapampangans whom I dealt with, transportations are rare after 16:00. Once a stranger stayed after four, one cant go back to SM Pampanga anymore. I was terrified and challenged @ the same time. Why on green earth does San Luis be so dangerous? Whoa! my dear readers and followers, pls take heed as i narrate my once in a lifetime experience.
It's not that DANGEROUS NOR PERILOUS as it seemed. My connotation was that they are MEN. you know those stuff of being "Kursunada". Of course, men will give a strange look and the other will get offended and they will start a fight. So no such thing will take place if a stranger is a FEMALE. YES, Virginia, much more a pretty female, a damsel in distress. alone...
If one can is required to stay after 16:00 there's an alternative route. The ever reliable tricycles. Just ask the tricycle drivers to bring you to the Circle. From there. lots of aircon buses are coming from the Arayat/Sta. Ana routes. See? its not that scary after all.
Ok after gathering enough strength and signs from above. i have been praying to guide me in whatever perils i will encounter. i headed to SAn Luis last Sunday, July 17,2011.
While on my way to San Luis, i passed by @ the town of Mexico and then the circle similar to Quezon City Circle though its smaller in size.
As i alighted from the jeepney, i immediately noticed that San Luis is a quaint sleepy town. I see the majestic church and i was awed by its presence and architecture.
The sight of the grand old staircase was extremely unfathomable. its like ive been teleported way back during the Spanish time and i remembered the movie "Somewhere in Time". My hands crept to touched the wooden handrail.
Thank you so much, my dear Lord, i made it FINALLY and who knows i may return anytime as ive been here before and its not that scary after all.
