other photos in Ilocos

here are some of the pics that we took during or vacation last December '06 in Ilocos

Elmer and JB were relaxing in Aunty Pil's sideyard when this was taken (during our 1st day)

this is Solsona's municipal hall

the "teatro." this is where i saw a lot of programs (be it during the town fiesta, school presentations, etc.) since childhood until my teen years. i can "vaguely" remember a Marcos political sortie when i was still small, that was the 1st time i saw Marcos and Imelda from afar, there were a lot of people then, and there were bus loads of artistas...

the "improved" basketball court in Solsona now doubles as the tennis court

taken infront of the water fountain in Solsona's town plaza (December 2006), taken in the afternoon of our 1st day there

this was taken in aunty Pil's frontyard after we went swimming in Gasgas (river)

This was taken in Laoag, Laoag's Sinking Bell Tower can be seen in the background, as well as the park with its December 2006 holiday decorations
