Vigan: Day Two
Woke up. Were still on the road to Vigan. It was agreed earlier on, one of us should be awake to talk the one who's driving. I failed my part... hehehe!Since the sunrise is about to happen, we stopped to take some images. Should have stopped earlier when we were still the area of plant fields, where the sky and the silhouette of the mountain showed different colors of blue.
Then, stopped by at Jollibee, Candon for our early breakfast. Took some pictures and proceeded on our way.
When we saw scenes that we like, we stop to take our fill. One is in Santa.
Another is The Shrine of Nuestra Senora de la Caridad. While there, there were four funeral processions leaving the church.
Finally, we're on our way to Vigan.
Our first stop is at Pagburnayan Jar Factory where you can see potter/s at work. Here, we can see the traditional burnay jars made in perfection.
We then went to the Abel Weavers at Barangay Camangan. Since it was lunch time, there were no weavers by then. Decided to take our lunch.
We had our lunch at Grandpa's Inn where we tried the local dish of pinakbet with bagnet, papaitan, and Vigan longganiza. What is interesting about the inn are the antiques. They gladly allowed us to take images of the house and items on display.
We, then, went back to the Abel weavers. They offer a variety of intricately-designed colorful Abel clothes. We bought some blankets, placemat, even mats.
Then, it's Gov. Chavit Singson's Baluarte. It features a mini-zoo and free palomino rides.
We then went back to the plaza. Dropped by St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral. There was a wedding ongoing.
We met the cousin of one of our friends in the group. But first, the guys went to McDonald's to refresh themselves. Bought soda while we waited.
Then, we tried their famous special empanada and okoy, which is being sold at the plaza.
Finally, what we really came for: take images of Calle Crisologo at night. When we had our fill, went back to McDonald's in preparation for the travel ahead. This time, I was the one who changed clothes.
Since we know that everyone would be tired, it was agreed that the two drivers would change every two hours. If there is a place to stop to stretch and rest, we would.
Dinner is at Chowking, Candon.
