sidetrip: Baguio

After failing to satisfy ourselves in our attempt to topple down Mt Pulag, we decided to cool things off in the city of Pines, Baguio.

We had a quick retouch at Mam Gina's place (#), ate pinikpikan for lunch and drove back to Baguio.
Mommy Earl was able to convince Kuya Klint to extend his service for a couple of hours and tour us around in the city.

Heard this from our tanging Ina - 'Kuya tutal nalugi naman kami sa akyat namin, i-tour nyo na lang kami sa Baguio'...(pampalubag loob..) ... Of course, kuya Klint agreed. (We added 500 to the jeepney rental)

So, after 12 long years, I held Baguio in my arms the second time around. Haha.

Can you name these famous sites in the city?

...view the spectacular scenery in the city's famous obsevation deck

...buy your favorite ube and strawberry jam, and 'your money will send poor kids to school'
strawberry jam (130, small), ube jam (140, small)

...one of the city's beautiful parks, fronting the most famous house in Baguio

...the official summer residence of the President of the PH

...experience bike or boat ride in the heart of the city (photo taken opposite the lagoon area)

...your not-so-ordinary shopping mall

...the busiest road in the city
