This is the entry into Baguio City.
Most of my time in Baguio City was spent at the BC Country Club. For Easter weekend, we had to move into a condo because the members of the Country Club headed up there for the holiday. This is the view from the BCCC rooftop.
A jeepney passes in front of the local Hard Rock Café (not affiliated with the better known HRC!)
Baguio City resident Maria took Texan Barron and me sightseeing and shopping. She did the haggling for us at the market. Handmade items are very cheap in the Philippines, I felt a little guilty about bargaining, but I guess it’s expected. We rode uphill in a Jeepney, a form of public transportation. Jeepney are like big Jeeps, very cheap (the trip cost about 7 cents!), and wildly decorated.
The Philippines has a long history with the USA. This is part of the Philippine – American Friendship Garden.
Up lots and lots of stairs, is the Lourdes Grotto. From the grotto is a beautiful view of the mountains.
I took a horseback ride up into the mountains. From up there, I had some great views of terraced rice farms on the mountainside.
We drove up into the mountains and stopped at a viewing stand. Nearby is a huge stone head of Marcos (Ferdinand, not Imelda – they’d have to have a big shoe for her!)
