Happy Saturday! We started our weekend with free breakfast sandwiches from
Starbucks. 😄 Then, we walked 30 minutes across the Granville Bridge to David

the Blossom Bento Box from Sushi Private Catering and it was delicious.

I spent almost a week in Cagayan Valley, specifically the province of Nueva Vizcaya. From the university district of Bayombong to commercial district of Solano, we've met wonderful people and ate tons of food. Here's a Google+ Story to highlight those days in the valley. How to get to Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya? We took the Victory Liner bus going to Tuguegarao and got off in the Bayombong. It's 8 hours long on the bus with around three stopovers.
