For a change, we headed to Baguio City for a brief stay two weekends ago. Not much was done as the weather was just uncooperative. Yes, Baguio City was wet as rains made its mark on and off. When temperatures are already cool, it was much made cooler with the somber weather. But it wasn’t disappointing. In fact, it wasn’t bad at all.
Series 51: Baguio City on a wet weekend is my third series on this wonderful city now starting in Binary Silver. This series consists of 6 photos scheduled in the next three weeks.
