Vigan!

Hullo everyone! I currently have summer class so its such a struggle for me to update but luckily I found the time to do so. Here are some pictures from our super fun Illocos fieldtrip last Feb! Its a two-part post so here's the first part :)

Started everything off with drinks with a few friends at Drew's. We were originally supposed to go have drinks with our fieldtrip group, but a lot ended up backing out so we were only 3 left and ended up just meeting other people and hanging with them there before we headed to the meeting area where we were to board the bus.

It was an 8-hour (?) trip from QC to Vigan and we had about 2-3 stops before we got to the place (which sucked because my sleep kept on being disturbed!)

We finally arrived in Vigan where we had breakfast. We were also allowed to roam around the town for an hour. We basically just did some sight-seeing and ofcourse, a lot of photo-ops. Hahaha!

We also went to Baluarte which is some sort of government mini-zoo. It was fun being able to play around with the animals and be able to touch them without any fee at all! Thanks by the way to Billie who tinkered with my camera which resulted to the beautiful pictures above haha! We had a lot more stops that day, including churches and museums but it came to a point that all I really wanted was rest and sleep so towards the end of the day I was found left all alone in the bus, sleeping, while everyone else hopped down to see the various attractions.
