#1030 - Ilocos Norte and Sur Shots for Monday.

Lovely Monday dearest Hiveans around the world. May this day of the week bring new opportunities, strength and the courage to achieve our goals. Here's to a Monday filled with motivation, connection and endless possibilities. Stay amazing, and remember, we're all in this together😉. Cheers to our wonderful Hive family!

And finally to our daily shots this time in Ilocos while we're on our journey to Pagudpud, we had a detour at the Ilocos Sur Vigan City Capitol. As we passed by, we couldn't resist the urge to capture some photos with the building serving as a perfect backdrop. Vigan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its rich historical sites nearby the city hall like the Calle Crisologo.

After our brief stop in Vigan, we continued our journey heading towards Ilocos Norte. Along the way, we stopped at an arch that marked the border between Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. This arch is a simple yet symbolic structure and was a popular spot for tourists like us to take photos. We joined the crowd in taking photos as remembrance to our adventure and experience.

Then we moved on and our next stop was the Laoag City Capitol where we took a moment to appreciate the architecture and the Ilocos Norte atmosphere. The hall is a reflection of the city's evolution over time. We took some family photos as if capturing the moment and the place. The friendly locals made our quick stop memorable.

Finally we made our way to Pagudpud, we stopped at the Pagudpud Arch to also take photos as remembrance reaching the farthest town in the Northern side of the country. The arch, like the others we had seen, is a symbol of the region's rich history and also welcoming spirit to travelers passing by.

After our photo session, we headed to the beach house we book where we had a reservation for two nights. The house is in a remote location and was the perfect end to our day. From our stop at the cultural richness of Vigan to the natural beauty of Pagudpud. It was a day filled with discovery and unforgettable moments.
