Dave and RevinFinally, we were here in our last destination, Namuac Sanchez Mira Cagayan, the hometown of my husband. We're here after our wedding, yeah it was a sort of our "honeymoon" in the Northern part of the country. The funny thing is he came from the northern part and Im from the southern part of the country that were bind together because of love..hahahaha corny!!
It took us 3 hours drive from Laoag City To Sanchez Mira..we were all sleeping the whole trip. Hubby just tapped me on my shoulder when we were about to cross the Winding Patapat Bridge located in the foot of Mt Cordillera Mountain ranges. I was dismayed that time coz I cant asked the bus driver to stop for a while to take pictures..how I wish we had our own car that time.
The place is just a small town and most of the local people I think earned their living working abroad( just my opinion) . Yes, I really noticed that their were lots of big and beautiful houses along the road. Im so impressed, that most houses were built in modern and colorful designs.
The weather was completely different from other places I've been, much more from Gensan. The wafted of cool air to the skin was refreshing and enticing to lay in bed the whole day. Infact, taking a bath is an option already..just joking!
My kids with their cousin Dame (at the center)Food was definitely delicious! My brother in law was a great cook. I remembered life living in the farm like using wood to cook and a jetmatic pump as a source of water. Hayyy..What a Great Life living in a simple and slow pace environment.
The public market was bit far from where we stay, it takes 7 kms by tricycle with P18.00 fare. It was small but clean and uncrowded market. Prices of commodities completely different from my city. I was astounded when I asked the price of carrots..price was based on 1/4 kilo and even ingredients for the famous Pinakbet it cost P40/kilo. Prices of fish and vegetables were high while for onions and garlic which also abundant in this area is low. Ilocos region is know for its onions and garlic. In fact I bought some of these as my pasalubong.
