A few of the sights we came across between Baguio, Sagada, Bontoc, Benaue, and Manila over the past two days. (22 hrs in the car!). Hope you enjoy seeing them as much as we did taking them.
CABBAGES
Roadside vendor cutting up a mango apple for us to snack on.
A friend Lynda made along the way.
Rice
You can see how the pis road level terrace just disappears over the edge. How the farmers get down to lower levels (and then back up again) is beyond me!
One of the many villages we drove through.
The terraces of rice and other vegetables were endless along our 22 hour drive!
Workers stopped for lunch of rice, some kind of spinach-like green, and pig intestines (boiled so the smell was horrific!)
Their cooking stove.
Lunch
Lynda chowing down on some intestine.
Lynda reacting to what she just ate!
The view from a private balcony. The lady had a little shop at the front of her house and was kind enough to let us explore and enjoy her view.
Some of the road work we experienced along the way.
Watch out for the wires boys!
A few hanging coffins that were visible from roadside in Sagada.
The oldest Spanish church in the region.
Yep...always room for one more!
Our first glimpse of the famous Benaue terraces. A little misty!
And a few minutes later the mists begin to lift just long enough for us to get a sense of what is there.
Notice the ladders that help the farmer get from level to level.

The view from our bathroom...yes...our bathroom!
Lynda going "out" to access our bathroom.
Lynda is on the toilet when she is taking this pic.
Rice shopping in Benaue.
Lynda found our room in Benaue a little chilly!
Wild pig for sale at roadside.
Tricycles at work...how much can they fit on those little things?!
Working in the rice fields
Rice (with husks still on) drying on the side of the highway. From here it will be raked and shovelled into bags ready for pick up by trucks.
Loading the bags onto the truck.
One of the vehicles bestie us.
Shovelling the dried rice into bags.
Bags waiting for pick up.
