We arrived at Vigan after plowing through heavy traffic. The plaza near the old church looks very different from what I remember. Now there are several fastfood joints, cafes, bars and hotels in the surrounding area. Good thing there are things that didn’t change: the Spanish-style buildings, the kalesas (horse-drawn carraiges) and — best of all — the empanada stands!

Bring home some of those and some tobacco cigars.

J. added these pithy words on Nov 24 03 at 1:49 pmIts been so long since I’ve seen that place. Grandpa’s still dead and buried there; barbecue pork shish kabobs still sweet and tasty, I’m sure. Must be nice, celebrating in that rustic, old-world charm, hearing old folks haggling over the price of fish in Ilocano…
