I grew up playing at the Gaston Park during my childhood days. This is the only closest park where we live. It is only walking distance. I usually play with my cousins after church. I have many pictures of this park.
I never thought that my little K got the chance to step and play at the Gaston Park. The last time she traveled with me, she was only six months old. It took her six years to visit my home town in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. It was Friday one sunny day that I brought her to the Gaston Park with me after visiting her Grandma. I choose Friday to visit as it is the weekdays and the park is not crowded.
My Mom gave us umbrella as it was excruciating warm that day. I find it funny that I bring umbrella with us. I know that back in New York if it is very warm, people are jumping for joy and go sunbathing or enjoy the sun. I usually bring umbrella while growing up when it is raining not when it is sunny.
The Gaston Park change a lot since the last time I visited. How I wish that the fountain is on. It would make the little K’s visit to the park more exciting. It is usually on Sundays as I remember. The playground is more modern which I like. There are few kids I see during that day. I just let my little K explore the Gaston Park. I told her story that her Mommy used to play at this park. Now it is her chance to play too.
I am glad that there are palm trees still around the park. I notice that the grass is not usually green. There are also benches around the park as well. I am sure that my little K is still adjusting to its environment. This was our 8th day since we arrived in the Philippines during our three weeks vacation. These pictures are almost two years old. How I wish that I can visit my home town again. It is indeed a very tiring flight but it is worth it when we landed in Cagayan de Oro airport.
It is very freezing cold today. I decided to dig up some old pictures. Finally I can update my travel journal as well.
