Hello everyone! This is @ybanezkim26 and I'll be presenting today's edition of Travel Digest. In our featured posts, we have a mountain in Turkey, a flower farm in the Philippines, and a church in Krakow, Poland. Enjoy and keep on pinning your travel posts to the map!
Mt. Ararat, the highest peak in Turkey and the Armenian Highlands, is famous for more than just its height. It’s a place steeped in legend, said to be the resting place of Noah’s Ark. With its stunning landscapes and deep-rooted historical significance, Mt. Ararat promises an experience that’s both physically rewarding and culturally enriching.

My mom wanted to go to Baguio but I've been there before, more than a decade already though, so I wasn't as excited as the first time I went there. I thought of getting us a tour or else we would be DIY-ing and end up going to a few places. I want our first family vacation to be stress-free, especially to me who's doing all the preparations. I availed us an exclusive tour, a bit expensive than I thought but its price was the cheapest I could ever find. We were given a sample itinerary and I chose the package with an Atok tour, a bit far from Baguio but easily accessible by car. I'm not sure commuting works, I haven't seen any buses around the area. Getting here by car would be the best option.

In Krakow, there are places where, strangely enough, there was a significant increase in the number of churches per unit of area. Such a place is undoubtedly the former historic district of Wesoła, especially Kopernika Street, where on a stretch of less than 500 meters you can visit 4 churches. Once in this area, I decided to visit two of the four temples located on this street. I will be the first to describe the church of St. Teresa of Jesus and Saint. John of the Cross, but I must admit that I am describing it even though I did not attend mass there. I didn't go to mass, because in the church of Saint Teresa there is only one mass a day and at a rather ungodly hour. On weekdays it is 6:30 a.m. and on Sundays, 9:00 a.m. The rest of the time the church is closed and the interior can only be viewed from behind a steel grate, which is a pity because the church, built in the late Baroque style between 1715 and 1725, is very attractive from what I could see. The temple is built on a Greek cross plan and consists of a nave, a chancel and two side aisles. After entering the interior of the church, the main attraction is the baroque altar made of black Dębnik marble, in the center of which there is a painting of St. Teresa of Avila. In addition to the altar, inside the church there is also a Baroque pulpit and a Gothic sculpture of Madonna and Child, made around 1390.
