ROAD TRIP

ROAD TRIP

            Having quarter break is so good because you can relax for a week. During our quarter break, I have a one memorable experience. Last November 4, we went in Vigan together with my relatives because we sent our cousin who will study there as a nun. So we started our trip in Baguio 3:00 am and we reached Vigan 7:00 am. After we sent my cousin, we went to the famous Calle Crisologo. That time I feel like I’m walking on a street somewhere in Spain because of the design of the road, establishments and churches, it was so luxurious. I really wanted to ride a “Kalesa” and buy a lot of souvenirs unfortunately I don’t have enough money for that so I just took photographs that would serve as my remembrance. Our next destination was Baluarte; I can say that Baluarte can be named as “Little Madagascar of the North”. The reason is you can see animals there that live in Madagascar like Lion, Zebra, Ostrich, Iguana and others. One interesting place in Baluarte was the Museum of Singson wherein you can see preserved bodies of animals in the wild. It seems like those animals undergone the process of mummification. I was really amazed when I saw the cannibalistic animals like Wolf, Leopard and Polar Bear. After our visit in Baluarte, we already went straight to Luna, La Union wherein we visited the “Kamay na Bato”. The artworks there were so unique because they used stones to form artistic figure. It is really a good tourist spot because the entrance fee is affordable and it is near the sea shore. A good place for refresh and relax. After that, we went straight back to Baguio. So to all people who want to visit Vigan, I can guarantee you that you will have a good experience there.
