San Agustin, San Luis is my mom's hometown. I've been inlove with this place eversince I started to live in Manila. This place is sort of an escape for me from the busy life in Manila. Back in college, I would stay here for a week with my pilyo cousins and we'll have our own adventure like crossing the Pampanga River.
Life here is so simple, and very provincial
Every last Sunday of April, San Luis celebrates it barrio fiesta. With Noreen, we took a Sierra Madre Bus in Monumento, Caloocan going to Arayat. We took off in Sto. Domingo and rode a tricycle going to the town. The town of San Luis is small with a beautiful church.
this church should also be included in the World Heritage List (hehe) We rode another tricycle going to my lolo's house. Trykes is the usual mode of transport here. And it's the occupation of most residents :(
Wee.. we were so hungry that I did not bother to take pictures of the handa. I let Noreen taste burong isda. It's Pampanga's version of fermented fish. It's a combination of cold rice, fish, patis, and some spices. The smell is appaling but Noreen tasted it anyway and of course she did not like it. But I love burong isda paired with inihaw na talong or ampalaya.
After visiting and eating the handa from two homes, I toured Noreen.
no, that's not Noreen. I used to bike around and sell mangoes for P35 per kilo!
this is Noreen. She dropped her brain and is looking for it somewhere.. cheers! I love you Noreen
There aren't any people in the streets they were hearing mass spoken in Kapampangan.MANGAN!
(let's eat!)
