Personal Insight:

Last Thursday, November 13, 2014, we had our visit inside the
Museo de Oro with my blockmates during our FFP 10 class. It took
us almost an hour and a half to wander around the museum. The
museum is setup in chronological order for the CDO area. There is a
nice presentation of artifacts found in the area and artist
interpretations of how the CDO area has evolved over the centuries.
Since there are well written descriptions in every artifacts displayed
inside the museum, it it easy for all of us to get informations from
each of them.

Because of the Museum visit, I was able to gain more knowledge

about our ancestors and also I was able to realize that us, present
people of this generation must really thank our ancestors for their
contribution to what we all have right now.
