The Tour, Sagada Trip Part II

The following day, Papa took us to Bontoc, a neighboring municipality just 20 minutes down from Sagada.

That's me with Bea posing under the early morning sun.






Alvan and the Bontoc Tricycle, he likes to pose beside the tricycle of different places we visit.







This is the place where they used to stay when Alvan was still small...











This is the overlooking view of Bontoc poblacion. On the opposite side of the river is the neighboring town of Samoki.






On our way to the hot spring in the interior of Bontoc.

On our 4-day stay in Sagada, we kept on looking for the "Frenchman" who was known for his french bread that we tasted when we were in Baguio... but we failed to see him :(







but instead, we found what seems to be a secret garden...

The following day, Papa took us to Besao, a 15 minute bus ride from Sagada, the place where Papa grew up. This is St. Benedict's Church, where Lolo Alejandro, Papa's father ministered as an Anglican priest.






Remembering and appreciating the wonderful view.

Sagada is a place for slowing down and contemplating as you commune with the beauty of its nature...
