It's Halloween! If you want to do something unusual other than wear a Halloween costume or go trick or treat, then consider visiting some interesting cemeteries. It doesn't necessarily have to be done on Hallow's eve or on All Saint's Day. It can be a break from visiting all those historical churches, parks, and museums. Cemeteries have history, art, and sometimes, a quiet area to enjoy beautiful scenery. Here are cemeteries in the Philippines that I believe are worth a side trip:

TRAVEL PHOTO: Katibawasan Falls, Camiguin

Starting this week, I will be sharing some of my old travel photos with the hope of inspiring you to travel more.  I was fortunate to have visited some of the beautiful places in the Philippines due to my research work.  One of those lovely places is Camiguin, an island located off the northern coast of Misamis Oriental in Northern Mindanao. It is considered as an "Island Born of Fire" since it has around 7 volcanoes, white sand beaches, impressive falls and springs. One of Camiguin's attractions is the Katibawasan Falls,  with a cascade that measures about 250 feet. It  has really cool waters, perfect for those who wish to take a break from the tropical heat.
