So we did a bit of road-tripping again last Holy Week. Nothing grand, just good times with friends.
We decided to join our friends' homecoming to their province in Bacnotan, La Union. We stayed in a camp site near the beach. I forgot lang to get the name of the place. It's just a row of simple rooms with a separate building for common toilet and shower rooms. What I appreciate about the place was the serenity. Plus, of course, since this was owned by my friends' relatives, our meals were cooked by them. We just have to go to the dining table every meal. How cool is that?
Here's some picture of the camp site -
A red pineapple!
The view from outside our room! Believe it or not, there's a lot of fish in that gunky pond.
We got to rest also in makeshift cottages beside the lake. The beach is also just walking distance from our place but we weren't able to take pictures. Sadddd.

We spent the whole Maundy Thursday just lounging in the camp site. But of course, we didn't just stay there. We also went road-tripping within the vicinity.
The first place we went to was the Old Watch Tower. There really was not much to see. Just these -

Ohh I have to warn you, there's a lot of kids that will bug you to buy their products. Some stones inside a jar. House decor, of some sorts. They can get a little bit pushy.
Next we went to Bahay na Bato Art Gallery. It's a well-maintained hacienda-like property fronting the beach. It has a big garden and in the far end is a house made from stones. There's an entrance fee of 20 pesos per person, 15 pesos for kids and senior citizens.

The last one's some weird piece of stone art noh? Hehe. Anyhoo, before going home to take our lunch, we passed by this road. It was so picture-perfect that we decided to stop for some photo ops.

When someone says La Union the first thing you'll think is surfing. And the best place in La Union to do that is in San Juan. We went there just when the sun was about to set. We thought that there will be a lot of people there since it was Holy Week so we decided to just sight-see and not surf. And we were right. We just sat by the stage of a public party that's happening by the beach and ordered some chips and beers.

By nightfall, we had dinner at this famous restaurant - Surf Shack. The food there was superb. I was impressed by their service water! Nice presentation oh -
We spent Saturday morning by just chilling again. We went back to reality (I mean Manila) after lunch. And as expected the traffic in SCTEX and NLEX was horrible.
So that's about it. How about you? How did you spend your vacation?
Missing the beach,
Yosh
