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
