MC Mountain Home

MC Mountain Home, Hotel and Restaurant, Tagayatay Philippines. Nice place with private kitchen and friendly staff, 45 bucks a night in 2006. In need of some repair, but it was a bargain anyway.
Located along the Tagaytay –Nasugbu Ridge (Aguinaldo Highway) ,Buck Estate, Alfonso , Cavite.
It is near the 18 hole competition golf course, Splendido Taal Golf and 2 kms. away from the 18 hole golf course Evercrest Golf and Country Club. Just about 500 meters away is Royale Tagaytay Country Club which boasts of sports facilities , a restaurant and a 9 holes golf course. The famous Sonya’s Garden is just 1. 5 kms. away while the Caleruega chapel and Chapel on the Hill are just 2 kms. away.
MC Mountain is located high above the mountain ridge where you will experience a cool windy climate throughout the year. It is a family owned homey type of 18 room hotel/ apartelle with seminar venue and gardens . It is run and operated by husband and wife Daniel and Adora M. Crisostomo.
The two were very helpful with many different problems I encountered, and provided a great room with a nice little kitchen.

Explore June 11th #387 – The gardens at Great Dixter were created in 1910 by English architect Edwin Lutyens, in the manner of cottage gardens on a grander scale. The gardens are set in the grounds of the manor house, first built in 1220 and added to in 1464. The house boasts an impressive timber-framed hall, one of the largest surviving in the UK. The Great Hall’s roof with its oak frame and crown post, is of particular note. It is decorated with carved shields and contains a fireplace, one of Lutyens additions. The gardens and home are owned by well known gardening author and lecturer Christopher Lloyd.

Nice Linux photos

A few nice linux images I found:

One of the major reasons I love openSUSE is because it’s usually very well polished. It’s not my favorite Linux distribution (I prefer Fedora) but that’s not to say openSUSE isn’t a great distribution because it is.
