After finishing our breakfast at IHOP, we went on our way. It was only 6:30 but the sun was already up, but vehicles on the road were scarce.

After visiting the Monterey Base and the exchange, we went back to the hall we passed by earlier. We parked at the front and we were lucky there were still some spots left.

After Deelow got off work, we decided to visit one of the forts on the coast of Alabama. She mentioned it a couple of times, but her main purpose was the food in the area :).

After a couple of hours in Gapan, Nueva Ecija, we hopped on a bus going to Baler. It took us more than 3 hours to reach the town.
