August 01, 2011
"Tagasaan ka sa atin?" is a familiar question among Filipinos acquianted outside the country. My answer "Sa Baguio kami" would usually invite the reaction "wow, ang sarap ng weather doon!".
But of course there's more to weather to enjoy Baguio and it's neighboring areas for. I have created my list below, of course still skewed to places I usually frequent or pass by. Please drop me a comment if you have something to share:

Great list :). I think I've done a lot of these and I'm putting my to do list the one I haven't done. I owe it to my dad who took me all over Baguio as a young kid. I hated Kennon Road though. I always get nauseous during the drive :(.
