#766 - Ilocos Norte shots for Friday.

Happy Friday dearest Hiveans, it's the last day of work week for most and it's also the day off for me and the wife. We were in the hospital earlier for my check-up because pf my gut issues that has been going on and also for my wife yo undergo a minor surgery only. My mother-in-law hasn't been home for more than a week also because she is with her brother in their province having s vacation. She didn't let us know yet when she is coming back.

For our shots today allow me to share some of the scenes we took when we went to a church in the northern part of the country. The Paoay church is an old one dates back to the time of the Spanish era when our country was under their rule for a long period of time. In front lawn of the church are these huge letters of the town where the church is erected. It's also a great spot to take a memorable photo of visiting the area.

These are the ladies I was with together with the wife and her coworkers who joined us to this adventure. They also brought a black dog with them during the tour. The lawn area in front of the church is vast which make it a nice spot for photos especially with those bougainvilleas in different colors.

The huge bell tower just on the left side of the church. It's also almost similar to the height of the centuries old church. The door or entrance going to the tower is closed, I was curious what the bells looks like from up there.

And then we have these last two shots that show the front area of the church where there's also a building which is mostly intended for tourists because the stores there are selling souvenirs and also food that are made locally in this north area. When we got here it was mid-day and the sun was really exposed without any clouds to cover it and we were tanned this day.

Follow me on my nature travels.
