Bontoc

We didn't spend a whole lot of time in Bontoc. We just wandered around the town and didn't do anything real special. We did stop into a small cantina type place for some Pork Adobo as we were getting hungry! We had just arrived from Banaue on the bus! Bontoc probably has more to offer than we experienced but we were on our way to Sagada and were running out of time to get back to Bauang LaUnion.
