Baguio Art Scene. Artists' haven.
What happens when 4 retired artists meet? Yup, drink a couple of beers maybe but I doubt if they talked about their grandchildren though. That happened in 1988 and now Baguio is known as the "Asian Arts Hub" and art capital of the Philippines.

Tha Mansion. Summer palace of the Guv'nor.
The Mansion was built at the "insistence" of then Governor-General William Cameron Forbes so he could have a cool mountain retreat from the hot Manila weather. He even named it after his summer cottage in New England. Spoiled guy.
More walks..
Canto Bogchi Joint. American comfort food.
Homegrown resto Baguio folks (and even tourists) learn to love. Fine dining offering the best ribs and burgers in town. At a price a little above overrated fastfood chains.
