joyride to the northern place (1st part) - VIGAN
------

pagudpod is one of the places that i really wanted to see, and with the 3-day weekend, we grabbed that instantly. we hit the road by early (3am) saturday morning. lester drove the first leg, to tarlac. anyway, im not so familiar with the regions so please bear with me. jeff took the second series from tarlac up until pangasinan. marc followed, and i was the last. from vigan to laoag to pagudpod. it took us about 15 hours to complete the trip.

the vigan stopover. we had lunch in cafe leona, well the food there wasnt that great. so i decided not to put any picture in this post. after lunch, we also took time to look at the nostalgic place... wish i could spend one night there. or maybe a week.


on the way to vigan.



bricks near the city hall that has the word "VIGAN".


clowning around with the kalesa. i liked the overall ambiance of the place. it was just really cool to be able to see and experience it.



with my high school friends.

this beautifuly designed cakes, saved my horrible lunch. i have never tasted okoy this good. i also loved their "taco" - thats how they call it, but it has onions and ground pork inside. P20 each, pwede na diba?

of course, i also tried their longanisa and i wasn't disappointed, i like longanisa to be maasim or maalat, and never wanted it to be sweet. i guess i just follow this rule of mine: when it comes to food, salt and pepper to taste; and for desserts, sweetness matters.

next post: pagudpod... :)
