It was beginning to get dark, but we still have time to visit the Bangui Windmills. Imagine twenty wind turbines all in a row along the shore of Bangui Bay, facing the West Philippine Sea. The wind farm is located at the north-west tip of Luzon.

| Up close I find the windmills both eerie and beautiful |
 |
| this is to show how big the turbines are |
 |
| time to say goodbye to the windmills |
We wanted to have dinner at Paoay's Herencia Cafe, but it was under construction. I'll just have pinakbet pizza next time. Right across, the baroque church, all lighted, was all the more lovely.

| the church and its distinctive buttresses on the side and at the back |
Ilocano cuisine is very distinctive, with may of the dishes relying on fish paste for flavor. In Laoag, find time for meals at La Preciosa Restaurant. I love their
crispy dinuguan and
poqui-poqui.
 |
| eating at La Preciosa felt like dining at one old, grand house |
Saramsam is also a good bet. I love their
bagnet.
 |
| love the quirky details |
 |
| a wall is devoted to souvenir shopping |
And that concludes the series on our quick trip around Ilocos Norte. There are still places we haven't been. Hopefully I'll get to write about them soon.
