There's a lot of beautiful places here in the Philippines but there's a place that I want to visit again and that place is where my father born and grew up and that's in Cagayan Valley.
Cagayan Valley is located at the north eastern part of Luzon. If you are living in Manila the travel time there will be 10 hours if you do commute via Florida bus. You can also travel by plane and it will took you for a couple of minutes only.
Why I want to visit Cagayan Valley?
I only visited Cagayan Valley three times. The first time was when I was 4 years old , the second time was way back when I was on High School and the last and third time was last 2013.
This photo captured the first time I visited Cagayan Valley. They are my cousins and all of us has now their own family
I had a great memories visiting my father's province. Thier place is really peaceful and for me who loves nature I would love to stay there. The house of my grandparents are located near the beach. If you will go to the roof top of the house you will witnessed the greenfields and see and as an opacarophile my dream house is like on my grandparents house wherein I can see the sunset every day.
I had a great memories visiting my father's province. I remember when we visited it when I was in High School we were swimming in the very clear river and you can see the rocks. If you continue to follow the flow the river you will ended up on the sea because they are connected.
Collecting sea shells on the sea , seeing the fisherman in thier net with full of fish and the unlimited seafood like crabs and shrimps that is so good because they are fresh.
It's also my first time to try an organic pig and it's really tasty. The edible fern salad and super creamy biko because my grandparents has a lot of coconut trees in thier backyard.
I had a great memories visiting my father's province but I want more. The last time I visited them I only stayed on the house and going to the bayside every other day. As much as I want to go on a different place I don't have someone who will guide me as my grandparents already old and my cousins that time were still young.
It been 9 years since the last time I went there and there's a lot of changes in the place. Before the sea on the back of my grandparents house is just a plain one but now it's a resort already and my Aunt said it's really good in there.
Photo credits to Cagayan Province 101 for the photo. I shared thier post a year ago and my Aunt commented that the resort I shared is near on my grandparents house.
This is the link of my shared post.
I also want to explore the place and now I am confident to travel and asked question even if I didn't know how to speak Ilocano.
I also want to try different Ilocano food and I am not alone this time. It's more fun if we will go there with my family. And now my cousins are teenagers now and I know it would be fun.
I don't have any pictures of me when I was there as I don't have a camera phone that time.
