It was another long weekend here in the Philippines, another chance for a great adventure.  For me and three other guys from the takbo.ph camp it would head us north—way up north—to the city of Laoag, Ilocos Norte, primarily for Run Ahead Raising a Roof race tomorrow morning.  Of course this city had much more to offer, and here are some previews:

We arrived at the city proper after about nine hours of travel. Arriving at our hotel we were treated to a breakfast buffet.

These are just previews of our first few hours, watch out for my complete story soon…
