Ligñon Hill and Mayon Volcano

Mae posted some new photos at her page in Facebook which brings back memories when we visited my family in the Philippines. It was summer time and we hiked on this hill, I felt bad for my kids and husband because the heat of the sun was too much for them.   On top of this hill, you could see the majestic Mayon Volcano and there is a zipline that my daughter  wanted to try but her height did not qualify for  the ride.  Ligñon Hill is located in the province of Albay.
On the other  side, the photos below somehow  healed my homesickness.  These were taken in our place in Donsol Sorsogon. 
 I miss  seeing boats passes by and watching the sunset.  Sorry for the low quality of the photos, these were taken by a cell phone.
Below are some of the photos during our vacation taken at Ligñon Hill.  See the Mayon Volcano at the background?



Those sandy part  in the last photo is where the lava  flowed during the last major eruption.  Mayon Volcano is  a very active one.  Here is  a photo of the volcano when it's erupting.
Thanks for your comments.

  13. Oh Rose, it also makes me miss the wonderful time my family and I had when we visited your wonderful place, Bicol! The Lignon Park over looking Mayon Volcano is breath taking! I wanna go back there again! Hopefully, we would see the Butandings this time around. :)

  15. me too i can understand how you feel missing your hometown. somehow, with the help on the Internet, people get to communicate faster and give us updates on what's happening on both ends.

    the majestic mayon. hope she sleeps forever. people dare not witness how she wakes :)

Rebuilding a House that was Burned by the Fire

I think the worse natural disaster is fire.  With typhoon, your house may get torn into pieces but at least you can still salvage some of it...
