| January 23, 2011

From December 20-24, my family raced through the provinces of Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte.  It was an amazing race alright!  Our first pit stop was at the Villa Angela Heritage House in Vigan, Ilocos Sur and it was a stop we were more than eager to make!  For the non-Filipinos who might be reading [...]
