Manang Taling was our guide for the day.

We packed up and left Casa Teofila, ready to be driven around by our tour guide Manong Arnel Aguila (contact number: 0926-5880666) and van driver Manong Joseph.

We met up on March 23, Friday, at the McDonald’s near the Quezon Avenue MRT station. After dinner we took a cab to the Florida bus station in Sampaloc.
Back from Ilocos! And drowning in work emails!
But first, some quick links:
“Needle Rain” Part 2 can now be read on PGS Online
“When words are enough”, an article about the poetry reading at the Ayala Triangle Gardens
And a preview of the Ilocos blog posts I will be drafting (once I get through all the work emails):
