Because you mostly slept during our BenCab Museum visit this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve been living in Baguio for about two months now, yet it was just our first time to visit the museum in nearby town Tuba (Benguet). We took a jeep from Baguio City Center (you almost threw a tantrum cause we waited more than half an hour for it to be filled with passengers) to Km. 6 Asin Road where the museum sits. You slept throughout the ride, until we hopped off at our stop and entered the museum.<\/p>\n<p>There were no other people around. Bubba and I took our time staring at paintings, rubber cut artworks (mum&#8217;s fave), and tribal artifacts. We had late lunch at Cafe Sabel which overlooks the duck pond, then strolled in the garden after eating.<\/p>\n<p>Rain came and went. Came and went.<\/p>\n<p>When the skies cleared, we left the museum and walked to Ifugao Woodcarver&#8217;s Village to catch a jeep going back to the city center. It was a long walk, and we waited for ages, but bubba and I didn&#8217;t mind. We had a great art appreciation day and you had a great sleeping day.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/14318211089\" title=\"luna1 by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"luna1\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lunaemami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/14318211089_abd6379f77_o.jpg?resize=525%2C352&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"525\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Bubba imitating Junyee&#8217;s <i>Pintado<\/i>.<\/div>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/14318510700\" title=\"luna2 by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"luna2\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lunaemami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/14318510700_cb2c245708_o.jpg?resize=525%2C349&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"525\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Asleep aboard the jeep.<\/div>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/14318737999\" title=\"luna4 by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"luna4\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lunaemami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/14318737999_eb3573967b_o.jpg?resize=525%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"525\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Cordillera Gallery.<\/div>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/14525210173\" title=\"luna3 by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"luna3\" height=\"349\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lunaemami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/14525210173_1897d02c60_o.jpg?resize=525%2C349&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"525\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">Overlooking the museum&#8217;s farm and garden.<\/div>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/nomadwifey\/14319117168\" title=\"luna9 by Gay Miriel Emami, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"luna9\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lunaemami.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/14319117168_da09fc825a_o.jpg?resize=525%2C350&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"525\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">At Cafe Sabel.
