un beau mémorial, l'ancre est superbe
A beautiful memorial, the anchor is superb
I wonder what it means? I like the overall picture.
It looks like they removed the squatters from there already... lol
Hi Pusa
Happy New Year to you!!
I´ve been out of circulation lately due to computer problem.
Re: your post´(photo),the marker doesnt really explain much,so I can only translate what´s written on it.
" Four century of Maritime Expedition Mexico - Philippines"
It must have been the Spanish expedition from Mexico to Phils.
That marker needs more explanation :)
Do you go around Manila on a weekly basis to take photos? You sure do know where to go. But then again Manila is such an interesting city. Can't wait to be back!

Hi....I'm mexican and I was born in a little fishermen's town in the Mexico's Pacific Coast called "Barra de Navidad" formerly "Puerto de Navidad" and was founded by the Spaniards explorers on Dec. 24, 1540, and in November 21, 1564 Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Andres de Urdaneta sailed from this very port to The Philiphines, the rest is history, and we have one monument right on the pier exactly like this one at Plaza Mexico in Manila!!!
