We headed to Taal Volcano for the weekend. It is a volcano in a lake with a lake in it. It is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes. An eruption in 1911 caused over 1,000 deaths. Its last eruption was in 1977 though it gurgled in 1991. We took an interesting little boat over past fish farms for Tilapia and milk fish and proceeded up the mountain on horseback. It was amazing – the earth was steaming. From the top you could see the lake boiling. The back drop was lush vegetation everywhere. Back down we then went to a popular place where folks come up from Manila to picnic and then rode back into town taking photos of fruit stands, pineapple fields and a truck full of pigs headed for market!
