A Glimpse of Keltendorf (Celts Village) in Steinach am Donnersberg

Of course, IC's class is also planning an outing this coming school year just like MCs. Their chosen place is Steinbach am Donnersberg, which is the highest peak in the region of Rheinland-Pfalz.

What's funny is that we could see the  said mountain from our house located in the region of Baden-Württemberg :-) Yes, we live in the boondocks.

We drove to Steinbach to check out the youth hostel but we ended up fascinated by Keltendorf Steinbach, located nearby.

Although the Celts Village was closed, we found ways to take a peek. If there's a will...there are pictures!

Visiting the City of Worms in Photos

This is found on the bridge entering/exiting the city of Worms

The city of Worms is located along the Rhine River and is known for its Cathedral. It is the only German member of the Most Ancient Europeans Town Network and one of the major sites where the ancient German Nibelungenlied took place.

We always pass through this town whenever we would get our supply of wine from our favorite wine maker, and we do visit Worms if there's a town feast for its rides and kiddie attractions.

But the only time I remember really taking a stroll through the town was with a baby MC and my now deceased in-laws. They brought me to a small corner restaurant serving the best fish soup in town. It was so small and the fish soup so good, people had to wait in line outside!

Anyway, MC would be having her school outing in Worms this coming school year and she wanted to see how the hotel looks like. Curious, really. I am, too. So, off to Worms we go. Let me show you the photos now.

next comes a church and then the museum.

We Support the Million People March to Scrap Pork Barrel in the Philippines

We are wearing black shirts and displaying those banners because we wanted the people back home in the Philippines to know that we are supporting them on their march to Luneta on Monday, August 26.

And because I agree with Junep Ocampo...

3 REASONS WHY WE'RE GOING TO LUNETA ON AUGUST 26...

1. BECAUSE WE CARE. The greatest sin is not to commit a crime but to be indifferent. Yung wala nang pakialam. We're going because we want to show our children that we care for this country and we care for their future and that there are certain things in life worth fighting for.

2. BECAUSE WE ARE ENRAGED. Yes we are angry. We are angry at how some government officials are stealing the money that is supposed to be for projects meant for uplifting the lives of the poor. We are angry at how Janet Lim Napoles spent billions of money supposed to be for the poor. And we are angry because such things will continue if the pork barrel is not completely scrapped.

3. BECAUSE WE ARE HOPEFUL. We are only a small family of six. We are but a tiny ripple in this ocean of life. But we know that a tiny ripple joined by millions of tiny ripples eventually becomes a tsunami. Millions of tiny Filipino families like us who care for this country can create change.

People of the Philippines, let's do this for the future generation. Let's do this for ourselves. Let's do this for our country. Let's do this because we respect ourselves and our country. Let's go!

P.S. Now, I informed the girls why we are doing this. I told them this is a show of support for the Philippines who is fighting for their right to have a better life. They totally agree that the Philippines and its people are worth fighting for.
