I'm finally back from a week-long trip at the North. We stayed at my husband's house in Cagayan and literally went to the "edge" of the Philippines, at the charming, quiet town of Aparri. Here are nuggets of discoveries that I learned from my trip there.
1. Sari-sari stores might not have your favorite detergent bar but they carry Tops bar which does the job fine.
2. Their tricycle that looks like a mini-jeepney, can sit up to 10 passengers.
3. Jollibee Aparri is always jampacked. Jollibee, I swear, you are everywhere. We once got stuck in a very remote town because of a dengue attack back in 2005 and you still made us feel home. Thank you.
