Baguio that is. The famous mountain metropolis of northern Luzon in the Philippines. This city has been on my PI bucket list of places to see so I’m glad to have finally made the trip. And what a trip. Especially coming up the mountain with my crazy drive Donny. But I lived to tell the tale, so there’s that.

Why am I here? Well, I’m going to do a Hash with the La Union Hash kennel. La Union is on the other side of the mountain near the coast, so I guess this is technically an “outstation” run for them. It’s also their annual Valentine’s Day Hash (albeit a bit late this year) and I got me this fancy new jersey when I signed up.

My mother kennel is Subic, where I did my first Hash and lost my virginity. And I got named with the Humphreys Hangover Hash House Harriers in Pyeongtaek, Korea. This marks my first experience visiting another Hash group as a bonafide Hasher. I’ll be joining them for a pub crawl tonight and tomorrow I walk! Looking forward to it.

I’ll get some photos on trail and hopefully have a chance to get some city shots before I leave on Sunday. It was an amazing (and scary) drive up the mountain. On the way back I’ll try to get Donny to slow down some so I can get some scenic shots.

Wish me luck on trail!
