I am, however, sad that the douchey-ness that is Nickelback has made it's way all the way to the Philippines. :) Some really awesome photos. Looks like you had a heck of a trip, and incredible views! That was only one day's worth of an amazing eleven day trip. I'd post more it if I thought TC would let me. Besides Banaue we also visited the Capas National Shrine & Final Bataan Death March Marker (the Shrine is on the site of the POW Camp and every kilometer of the Death March is marked with a white obelisk), saw the hanging coffins of Sagada (they traditionally hang their coffins off the sides of the mountain), the first Filipino flag in Baguio, the Spanish colonial town of Vigan, stayed in a 140 year old Spanish mansion, viewed the site of Gen. Yamashita's surrender, enjoyed fabulous mountain views throughout, saw the body of Ferdinand Marcos (who looks well for a man twenty years dead), visited Marcos' vacation home, went horseback riding on the northern shore of Luzon, saw the limestone beach formation called Kapurpurawan, saw "earthquake" baroque churches, took in a view from the base of Cape Bojeador Lighthouse, saw the beach windmills in Bangui & a beautiful red sunset and that's the short version of our trip! Oh, and I interviewed my friend's father, who as a child witnessed World War II first hand on Bataan. His father was a guerrilla. Glad you guys liked the pictures.
