Sagada in my mind

In February this year, finally, I was able to go to the much talked-about destination for a tired soul physically exhausted urban professional like me.  It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to go along with my wife who went to Bontoc  to attend to a book distribution project, hence, a sidetrip to Sagada was irresistible.

I have been schooled in Baguio but never had the chance to really explore the Cordilleras.  Halsema Highway back then was rugged and going to Sagada therefore was a challenging trip!  Besides, “mountain people” like us then would not want the mountains for a relaxation after semestral breaks.  Of course, we would prefer the beaches of La Union over the mountains with which we commune every day of our lives!   read more…
