It was practically an
extreme hot weather when I visited the UNESCO World Heritage site of St. Augustine Church
or known as the Paoay Church.
It was among the timeless view of the
churches and my alone time sunset watching by the beach shore in Fort Ilokandia Resort that I have appreciated
the beauty of Laoag city. It was practically an extreme hot weather when I
visited the UNESCO World Heritage site of St. Augustine Church or known as the
Paoay Church. Despite that, I found myself on instagram and snapping photos in dslr while strolling around
the municipality of Paoay. The church made of coral blocks, baked bricks, tree
sap and lumber is really beautiful up-close and in any sideway glances you may
have.
For walking around It the city, a loose top
that flows freely on skin and comfortable pants was truly a necessity to wear
than a skirt or dress with a pair of platform sandals.
Key notes to remember from trip :
#food: La Preciosa Fine
Dining:can certainly have the best Bagnet in Ilocos Norte. Since we all crave
for local dishes when out of town, I practically ate two days in a row in this
charming restaurant with incredibly good service. A scrumptious dessert awaits
to feed your sweet tooth
#stay: I stayed at Java
Hotel located in the center of the city. If only I wasn’t running like a headless
chicken around Laoag city and working alongside I would find myself cozy in the
swimming pool lounging alongside mimosas on a perfect sunny day, though that
will be another note on my to do list when I visit Laoag again.
#explore: Well I have a
lot to write about this, but first on my list of update, the Paoay church and
Fort Ilokandia Resort.
Next day, I was caught in a beach sand at
Banguii Wind Farm in awe of the nature representations of what Ilocos Norte could offer. That's next.
