The Sagada Lunch
Famous for serving dog meat before, with the passing of the Animal Welfare Act, I no longer know if they still serve such.
There once was a local faith healer who had shared the premises with the restaurant but had since passed away during the early 2000's.
These are the ancient coffins of the Sagada Filipinos located in a cave in Sagada, Mountain Province, Philippines.
These coffins are carved by the elderly before they die; if they are too ill or weak their son or other close relative will do it for them. This ritual involves pushing the bodies into the tight spaces of the coffins (into the foetal position), and often bones are cracked and broken as the process is completed.
After the deceased are put inside these coffins they are then brought to caves high in the cliffs where they join the coffins of other ancestors. The Sagada people prefer to be buried in the cliffs than to be buried in the ground and have been doing this for more than 2,000 years.
At the entrance of the church is a landmark. This bell dates the completion of the church of Sagada.
The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (official Catalan name; Spanish: Templo Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia; "Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family"), often simply called the Sagrada Família, is a massive, privately-funded Roman Catholic church that has been under construction in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain since 1882 and is not expected to be complete until at least 2026. Considered the master-work of renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), the project's vast scale and idiosyncratic design have made it one of Barcelona's (and Spain's) top tourist attractions for many years.
El Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família és una església monumental iniciada el 19 de març de 1882 a partir del projecte de l'arquitecte diocesà Francisco de Paula del Villar (1828-1901). A finals del 1883 es va encarregar a Gaudí la continuació de les obres, tasca que no va deixar fins a la seva mort, el 1926. A partir d'aleshores, diversos arquitectes han continuat l'obra seguint la idea original de Gaudí.
This shows the beautiful cave we hiked through in Sagada, the Philippines. Yes, we had to walk through the river to get out of the valley. At least the water cleaned the mud off my shoes.
Film base shot so long ago. But this photo was scanned from an 8R format. It is unfortunate that the negatives of this photo has already deteriorated

Sagada, formerly called Ganduyan, is a quaint and quiet town of Mountain Province tucked away in the stunning mountains of Northern Luzon – 12 hours drive north of Manila, 5-6 hours north of Baguio City and about 2 hours further from the provincial capital, Bontoc. Sagada was what Baguio City was 50-100 years ago, and unlike the latter, has a more laidback, quieter, and slower pace of lifestyle with the culture, which is steeped in metaphor relatively intact among its Kankanaey populace. The thrilling (and to some, very intimidating) drive to Sagada, which can be accessed either via Banawe in Ifugao or Baguio in Benguet is characterized by precision driving through a narrow highway that snakes through the mountains of the region with drops to at least two kilometers deep down into the ravines, rice terraces and lush pine jungles of the Cordilleras.
