Banaue sojourn: Pandesal boys

Paandeesoel! Paandeesoel! Paandeesoel!

Still dark outside and already the pandesal boys of Banaue were calling out for their hot pandesal (pan de sal, literally, salted bread), the typical Pinoy morning bread that graces tables across the country. I just can’t help but remeber that while in Batanes you also awoke from your slumber on shouts of “hooooottttt paaaannndddeeessssaalllll” early in the morning, their voices reverberating across the streets.

Different places, same experience.
