On our second day in Baguio, we decided to go to the BenCab Museum. Not only does museum house the private collection of Philippine National Artist Bejamin Cabrera, it also has various collections that show artwork from all throughout the history of the Philippines. Wanting to see something unique in Baguio, two grand parents, two sets of parents, a 5-year old and two infants drove to the museum. Although we knew that the it was located outside the city proper and we had already looked up the directions, it still took a little bit of time for us to actually find the place. It's all good as we were enjoying the fresh air and also the scenery of Baguio.
After about forty-five minutes of driving, we found the museum.

For lunch, we went down to the museum's restaurant, Cafe Sabel

Ava, Alain and I went down to the gardens to see all the greenery
and to hang out at the nipa hut in the middle of the pond
After spending the entire afternoon in the museum, we trooped back to
Camp John Hay to rest and relax. Here's Ate Naima entertaining the kids.
Dad invited his radio friends during dinner. By friends, I mean about twenty or so
ham radio enthusiasts who were in Baguio for the PARA Board Meeting and the Grand Eye-Ball.
We took advantage of this and used the bonfire that was made to roast hot dogs.
Bencab Museum is located at Km. 6, Tadiangan, Tuba, Benguet.
