Several of them were carrying Think Tank bags, so I grabbed a few shots before the bus took off for Bagio. I think the folks at Think Tank will be happy to see that photographers the Philippines love their Thnk Tank bags!<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_YDfGGOSO8bI\/S_9NrMwXZCI\/AAAAAAAABHc\/X4q0kUQpIDE\/s1600\/kjg_4214_std.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0px;\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_YDfGGOSO8bI\/S_9NrMwXZCI\/AAAAAAAABHc\/X4q0kUQpIDE\/s400\/kjg_4214_std.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It was a long 7 hours to Bagio and it was raining heavily on arrival. The road between Sagada and Bagio is an amazing engineering feat. The trip is not for the squeemish or those who tend to get motion sickness, but the scenery along the way is totally amazing. This stretch of road is considered by many to be the most beautiful section of road in the Philippines and I wouldn&#8217;t disagree. The road passes through countless small villages and provides views of rice terraces, nearly the entire way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just prior to leaving, I came across a small group of people, preparing food in a forested area near town, they were dismembering chickens.
