After asking around in the hotel about how to go around town (it’s just a tricycle away), we decided to go explore since we had time to kill before our scheduled pick up for the sand dunes adventure. Moreover, since we weren’t keen on visiting the Marcos museum (and other museums in the vicinity), we… Read More The Ilocos Journals – Going Around Ilocos Norte – Paoay, La Paz Sand Dunes, and Laoag
