2009 Batanes Trip - Day 1: April 21, Album 2


After lunch, Aunt Dolly brought us to Lola Loleng's house, which was also near the church. 


Their house was one of the old stone and lime houses with thick walls, and separate buildings that serve as the kitchen and bathroom/toilet.  There are no doors for the rooms inside; instead, curtains are hung over the arches.  Slippers and shoes are left at the main door.  The stone floor's clean enough that one can sit there if there are not enough seats.


Lola Loleng is the only surviving sibling of Lola Cion.  Although her eyes and ears are weak due to old age, she could still hear and see.


Other pictures in this set:  Aunt Dolly's house, her neighbors' houses, freshly harvested onions and garlic left in front of the houses to dry under the sun.
