Really, enough cannot be said about the roof deck at Harold’s Mansion. As Harold will tell you, it’s a work in progress, but it’s not only the things there (comfy couches, hammocks and a pool table) that make it so nice, it’s the spirit of place. It’s a fun, relaxed setting to enjoy a beer or a cup of tea, to watch the sun set behind Mt. Tallinis, or to chat with fellow travelers.

On BBQ nights it can turn into a party, as it did when my friend Kelly was visiting last week. It also happened to be her birthday and we celebrated in true Filipino style. That is with cake and balut!

With cake and balut to go!!!
