Vigan Bound
April 12, 2008
Calle Crisologo, Vigan – Taken from Vigan’s Official Site
In a few days, I will be leaving for the UNESCO (United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization) Heritage City of Vigan, Ilocos Sur with family. I’ve been told that it is an 8 hour ride getting there, which is fine…I really don’t mind the long ride because I absolutely love road trips! Looking out the window and seeing the lush greens and whatnot would be an absolute treat. I’ve heard and learned a little bit about Vigan through Living Asia Channel. I know that it is a colonial city, and influences from other Asian and Spanish cultures are still apparent within its borders.
I am excited about seeing the ancestral homes, and other historic and architectural marvels. I also cannot wait to send my tummy on an Ilocano gastronomic adventure too! And oh yes… I can do some shooting practice with my SLR, i hope 3 rolls of film will be enough! Hehe.
There is so much to see and so much to experience in our country. I have done some travelling within Luzon and Mindanao, and would love to go somewhere interesting and fresh in Visayas. Soon I can say that I have been to some of LuzViMinda and finally cross that one out on my list!
I hear talks of going to Baguio too, that has yet to be confirmed. I’ve been there several times, but anything that will get me out of this 37 degree weather is awesome!

Hi Eliza,
Did you push through with your trip to Vigan?
The reason I’m asking is, I was wondering if I could link my blog to that post? I have an article on aerial views of Vigan (I’m a Filipino pilot) and it would be good to have ground-level pictures also.
And your photography, on the sidebar, is stunning.
I would just link to your post, not use your photos or anything like that.
Let me know if it’s ok, thanks!! My son and I write a blog about flying in the Philippines.
