Back At Arteche

As mentioned in my previous story , we were looking for lunch but didn't find what we liked in Lapinig . So back to Arteche we went, since we earlier saw a new "snack house" across the side of the church! This is it, though I wasn't really sure if "Save" is the name or just a teaser ad. Is it?

Just two kilometers from Buena Vista, we reached this big barrio called Brgy. Carapdapan.., I noticed many parts of this highway sport this kind of sashaying balu-baluktot style. Ano ito, pa-uso? Hey look here, this certainly looks like a town's plaza, right? That's jus
