Bagabag Women's Retreat

The day that we arrived at our northern center, I was invited to attend a women's retreat for the weekend in the beautiful rice terraces of Banaue. (The 8th wonder of the world!) I happily excepted, as long as they didn't mind me being jet lagged! My roommate was Judy who has been a translator for over 40 years. I also had my first ride on a trike, which is a motorcycle with a little cart attached to sit in, on my way back to the retreat center after a visit to town.




All of those ridges are actually rice terraces, build hundreds of years ago along the side of the mountains, and still in use today. This is from a look out point, but we had a similar view from the balcony of our room!



The many faces that I enjoyed getting to know on the retreat!
