๐ต๐ญ SAN QUINTIN » ABRA
It is a town with hopes and dreams for its people, teeming with great natural wonders that can set you free. It’s an unhurried town, laid back, quiet, and simply beautiful. I am referring to the town of San Quintin in Abra. My posts about the town may have seemed to be endless. Forgive me for that. I just couldn’t keep myself from writing many stories about the town because of the many experiences and beautiful encounters it has allowed me to experience, and I think that it’s worth a space on my online diary.
As I crossed the Abra river back to where I came from, the other side of the river revealed another wonderful scene. On both sides of the river, beautiful views displayed. Actually, a 360-degree rotation is a paradise unknown.
► Backstory
This town exploration in San Quintin is part of a larger scheme of things in 2012. From Vigan, my brother and I rode our Honda Beat 2009 model to Abra, and this moment forms a portion of that scooter adventure.
As I entered Abra, we visited several locations before arriving to this area—the Abra River.
► Best Location
I saw that hill (or possibly a mountain) projecting itself as the background of a white structure sitting on a platform overlooking the mighty Abra River. The structure did not look special, but its location was unusual. The fact that it situated itself at this magnificent location gave me big smile.

► Everything has an ending
I would say that this moment sealed the finale of my San Quintin town journey, but the mountains appeared like they're expecting me to be back soon. This separation anxiety made me want to stay here longer, but this last river crossing that faced the beautiful location of the town hall marked the end of my adventures here.
As I left this town, I knew myself that I would cherish all the memories it gave me. I don't know when I should be back, but I am sure San Quintin has been written on my heart.
