Best Birthday... so far :) Day 3

I didn't notice that I was never able to make an entry about my last day in Sagada this April. To refresh your memories, I spent my birthday weekend in Sagada as an independence/milestone trip. This was the first trip I did alone--no friends and family with me. I was a solo traveler! :) I met a lot of cool people, and I'm actually still in touch with a few of them until now. Patch was one of the people I met in this trip. It's so great how traveling can lead you to new friends. About three weeks ago, I went to Lucban which is a town in Quezon Province to attend the Pahiyas Festival. I'll make another entry about that soon :) Anyway, Patch also joined the tour group my brothers and friends signed up with (the same one that organized the Sagada trip and my Mt. Pulag climb--Travel Factor). This time, she was the solo traveler so we "adopted" her in our group. It was so fun! Okay, I'm veering off...Back to Sagada. Let's see.....

We woke up really early so that we could get a table at the Yogurt House for breakfast. Of course I was a bit slow due to my sprained ankle, so it took a while for me to prepare. You know, I really was a trooper and am quite proud of myself. I didn't want to miss anything for the remainder of the trip, so even if my ankle was hurting like hell I still joined the walking tour that day. And yeah, It was exactly my birthday on our last day! Even if I injured myself on this trip, I'd have to say this was the COOLEST birthday I've ever had. I'm hoping that next year I'll do something as cool, or something cooler for my 24th.

If you're planning on going to Sagada, you HAVE to eat at the Yogurt House. The food's sooooooo good!

The Yogurt House's version of Beef Tapa...I ♥ brown rice!

I forgot what this sandwich is called but my groupmate told me it was really good.


I should've ordered this one :|

Lunch at Lemon Pie House

Chicken Curry was good, according to Ila. I didn't order lunch because I was still full from breakfast. Gotta love the brown rice :)

The famous Lemon Pie...although I didn't like it that much :|

Here's to more adventures in life! I hope you guys enjoyed the pictures and were able to get a glimpse of Sagada :)
