Nostalgia
Caritela (Calesa)
Abella, Naga City
They are a common sight at Abella Street. There are now less than 10 of them plying along Abella. And their number continues to decrease. They are replaced by "padyak" (pedicab). I enjoyed boarding the caritela when I was a child. I'd even ask to be seated beside the "kutsero" and have a feel of grabbing, maneuvering, and giving direction to the "native" horse by the pulling the rope harnessed to it.
