Leonard Felix and her girlfriend Maria came to my rescue when I arrived late in Baguio looking for the Guesthouse mentioned in my gps. I couldn't find it and desperately looking for a place to stay as the day is started to get dark. My intention is just to put up my tent in front of his uncompleted house for a night, but he invited me to set my tent inside the 2nd floor for safety reason .I stayed 3 nights with him and he brought me to visit the Baguio town in a jeepney.Thank you |
