How many cars can you get on a two lane road? As many as you want. Baguio has taxi's Jeepney's, buses, motorbikes and an personal occasional car. I thought we ought to catch a picture of the streets I have to drive on daily. It is more congested in Baguio than when we go to the lowlands. Trikes and Pudchucks are not allowed in Baguio due to the fact that there are few streets that are level. They wouldn't make it up and down the mountain roads without causing traffic jams.
It has been a while since I wrote on the blog, we have been very busy getting the Mission Office organized, making changes to procedures, and cleaning. We are about 1/2 way through all the files. We also travel to the lowlands, an hour each way, each weekend to attend church in the many branches scattered through out La Union and Pagasinan provinces. We are happy when we are busy and so we are happy almost all of the time. We love the Philippines even though it is really hot and humid in the lowlands, but the wonderful people here just make it a joy.
Nancy wanted to ride on a jeepney, but all she could do was climb into one at our transfer day in Mangaldan. This is one of the most beautiful Jeepneys we have seen here at least for our taste. All chrome.
As we go down the mountains to the lowlands Nancy caught this view of the Lingayen Gulf. We are so grateful to be in such a beautiful country. Of course we like green, that is why we live in Western Washington State. In the Philippines it is green all of the time so it adds to our happiness.
