As always, I found myself traveling to my favorite place, Vigan City. I went to the bus stop quite early because I always tend to forget what time the bus arrives, so might as well get there early and wait. Since I was alone for this travel (not a first, though), I just entertained myself looking from the window and hope I could capture as much interesting pictures as possible.
Well, I do try to take a nap once in a while, so I wasn't able to take much, but here are some that I captured:
Tobacco Field. Tobacco leaves were harvested as early as January, so this field was on its end stages... farmers just wanted to maximize the crop.
Sta. Maria Church. The structure above the stairway is the Sta. Maria Church, one of the four baroque churches in the Philippines, and is a UNESCO world heritage site. I would love to re-visit the church (I last went there in 2008), but since I am alone for this trip, I decided not to do any side trips and travel straight to Vigan.
River. I took this somewhere in the town of Narvacan (Ilocos Sur) if I am not mistaken. I saw a water stream from afar, so I quickly took my camera to aim for a shot. Glad my camera didn't let me down. :)
The Bus Driver. Whenever I travel to Vigan, I always try to sit on the right side because I wanted to take a picture of the Quirino Bridge... but then I realized I have taken lots of pictures of the bridge and that I have to sit on the left side. Well, that was a mistake... so all I can do to share the water on the left side was to take this shot. This is one of my favorite sights while traveling to Vigan.. seeing the water on the left side and the mountain on the right side. It's like seeing the best of both worlds.
Suso Beach. I was able to keep my hand still while I zoomed on the bus' windshield so I was able to capture this. Sadly, there were reflections, but this was the best I could do, and I am happy about it.
Quirino Bridge. There is a new bridge connecting the two parts of Ilocos Sur, so I can now take pictures of the Quirino Bridge from the bus' window. Again, there was a reflection, but I didn't care much about that anymore, I am loving the view!
The bridge is always my cue to know that Vigan is just around the corner. After taking this picture, I placed back my camera in bag, and just enjoy the ride.
