The Sagada Graveyard
A large group lines up for photos
The little bit of Jim I was about to sprinkle at the site
It was a mucky walk down and back up
The “selfie” spot seen without selfie
More graves as we walked back up and out
The church had a wedding going on so we couldn’t enter today but was invited for food
Apparently another selfie spot sans selfies
A river in the valley as we left Sagada
Passing through Bontoc
Terraces across the river from Bontoc
Sure was a beautiful drive up to Tinglyan
A big bend in the river
A cow and its baby appreciating the views
The hills were carved and a little village sits at a high point
Typical mountain Jeepneys have passengers riding on the roofs
Mark fills up his water fresh from the mountain stream
A Philippine Mountain Dew with no corn syrup and radioactive bottle
Papaya trees overlooking the valley
A tricycle parked in Poblacion Tinglyan with a Mountain Dew sticker
Looking behind us at the river as we climbed up
Another glimpse of the pitcher plants, some dead
We backtrack and Mark tries to avoid being more muddy than we already are
Our first glance of Sumadel, still a while to go
Mark fills up his water again and pushes his filter to the limit
A thumbs up from me as I cross the little bridge at the bottom of the valley
The path along the terraces used for maintaining, which is the only path
If you’re gonna drive a tank it might as well be tank like
