Next Stop-BATAAN Apr 30-May 1, 2012

Hosted by long time resident of  Bataan, Leda Paraan Paloma, the invitation to this "booing" event was extended to all of Class62.  A few decided to take advantage of this planned "scare" but were still too tired and jet lagged to even speak to the "ghosts" of Spanish Colonial times.  Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar, a transported community of old Spanish homes (C.1500 -1800) from all over the Philippines with a concentration of homes from neighboring provinces of Pampanga, Tarlac, Manila, Rizal and Ilocos.

Climbing Mt. Samat (ha ha... by car of course!) was another amazing feat for our "camote" legs, similar to walking up Session Road, with our frontal lobes on the incline & our "obets" left further behind. We missed our boat to Corregidor but had an amazing lunch buffet by the roadside on our way back to Baguio

Dinner @ one of the Casas.  A "Tinikling" participation
from Leda and Atong soon after the Dance Troop showed off their
Filipiniana dancing prowess
Thanks Ledz for the next invitation. Class62 can hopefully experience another ghostly rendezvous in the near future.
