Baguio



My friends A, J, M and I traveled to Baguio City two Sundays ago for a day trip and some respite from the oppressive Filipino sun.
The city was built by the Americans at the turn of the twentieth century, is considered cosmopolitan and progressive, and is a popular vacation destination for Filipinos who, likewise, just want a break from the heat.
Once we got there, we strolled through a park complete with a paddle boat-filled lake, visited a cathedral, and just enjoyed breathing in the cool mountain air. I even wore a sweater for a little while!
