astonished by the design of the house because I really like ancient houses. I
noticed that some of the parts was already painted with new colors. I was

house is very big, and there were lots of trees around, making the area good
for picnic. My pictures are all taken outside the house of Rizal since were not
allowed inside until the house is finished with the touches.
I took a picture of myself with a very big poster situated in the front
side of the house of Rizal, because it contains a lot of information about the
