"Let there be spaces in your togetherness."
-- poet Kahlil Gibran
Last weekend's Baguio trip was a classic example of "space in our togetherness." Hubby attended a photography workshop at the BenCab Museum; while I did Me Time -- reading, sleeping, food tripping and having a massage*. Together, we went up to Baguio but had our individual day skeds. We'd meet up for dinner (or sometimes after dinner) and talk about each other's day. Saya!

Km 6, Asin Road, Baguio
(Approximately 15 minutes away from the City.)
Hubby's photography workshop location.
Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Baguio's my hometown (my Dad's from there;
it's where I spent my childhood summers;
our family visits at least once a year)
but it was my first time in this part of Baguio.

The museum houses four floors of amazing works!

He had a tattoo appointment in Manila that weekend (seriously).

at the Ben Cab, Museum
This is where I spent a lot of time
reading, eating and surfing the net.

Good morning, world!
Above: BenCab's property is huge!

authentic century-old Ifugao Huts
within BenCab's property.
This is different from Tam-Awan Village.
I promise to find time to blog about our Tam-Awan overnight date,
circa 2005.

Above: My favorite from Cafe Sabel's menu
-- the spicy tuyo pasta with toasted pan de sal.
Around Php120.

Around Php120.

pork and chicken adobo with mountain rice.
Around Php250.
Wish: bed & breakfast option
within the BenCab Museum,
but they offer none.
We stayed near a budget lodging house.
All the other workshop attendees stayed there too.

Cafe by the Ruins
It's actually not "by the ruins" anymore though.
There's a hotel right beside it now.
