So, Bagio was interesting. It felt like Wisconsin in the summer because it's up in the mountains and cooler...like only 90 degrees. My host family though was very intense...always giving me so much stuff! After a while I just said no, even though you feel bad.
So Bagio was actually built by Americans as a get away city from the heat. Now it's a get away city for tourists and other Philipino people including the president.
Here are some highlights of Bagio:
yummy organic restaurant
Philippine Treasures where we buy cool jewlry and workers make things for Macy's
Texas Instruments tour....we had to wear booties
MOOG...makes airplane parts
running track
traditional dancing...also Belly dancing
seeing people weave fabric by hand!
My favorite was Tam-Awan village where we got to see where the natives lived. They had cute dirty huts built on stilts with awesome paths and free swinging bridges.
Easter was filled with egg hunting for the host family's grand children.....
also we ate some pretty good food...pizza, halo-halo, mangos, and my favorite....RICE!!!
