Bye Baguio ... 'Til We Meet Again

We made the most of our last day in Baguio. While the guys invaded the city market for some shopping, I was snug as a bug (in a rug) while watching The Golden Globes. :-)
After leaving the inn, we headed straight to Mines View Park market for some last minute additions to our pasalubongs. Then we saw this huge St. Bernard dog up for photo op ... only 50 bucks for 3 shots. Why not? We said ...


Don't ask me why his name is spelled that way. I just saw it in Wikipedia. Hehe. Notwithstanding, the dog's still a gentle giant. Cute! :-)
Of course, we wouldn't miss going to this famous convent, well-known for their food products ...



Guess what? They now sell sugar-free strawberry jam and peanut brittle! For prices a li'l over than the regular variants, health-conscious people can now enjoy these sweets.
The cafe kiosk sells delish pastries like ensaimada, empanada, herb pesto loaves, plus they also offer cheap strawberry gelato (for only Php15 per cup). Yummy!
After some picture taking at the view deck, we headed down Kennon Road, on our way back to Maniiiilaaaaa. :-)



We truly had a grand time during our 3-day stint in the City of Pines. We'll be back soon... promise. :-P
