Side Trip at the Heritage City

Walking along the cobblestone streets in the midst of the crowd
Traversing Calle Crisologo and Mabini
Waiting for the sunset, enjoying empanada and cold drinks.

A glimpse of unique architecture
That fuses Philippine and Oriental designs 
With colonial European architecture.

Old Spanish houses, huge doors
Sliding capiz shell windows
Calesa here and there.

Standing below the poet Leona Florentino's statue
Shops for antiques, woodcrafts and basi wine
Lamp-lit, romantic ambience.

And yeah, I got no doubt
Vigan is really a heritage city
 And it completed our Ilocos journey.

With Mona, Via and Ilya 

Me and the Poet Leona Florentino
