It’s been years since I’ve last been to the mountain city, but I recalled a few fond memories: walking down Session Road and seeing the swan boats in Burnham Park once again, and paired them with treasured new ones such as the fascination in shopping at the public market, happy coffee-shop hopping, and discovery of Filipino literature at Mt. Cloud bookshop.

Books and chilly weather go together. Enjoyed our late afternoon at a specialty bookshop in Baguio City, in which 80% (it seems) of the titles are by local authors. There is great Filipino talent in creative writing. Motion to open up more of the like!
