Mayon

Flying from Manila to Legaspi -- the far reach of RI District 3820 -- we had a great view of the Mayon Volcano from the sky. A perfect cone. It was raining and cloud-covered by the time we could get to her. This church tower is all that remains visible of the original structure now completely buried from one of Mayon's eruptions. Know as one of the counties' deadliest volcano's, it erupts on average every nine years.

We drove up Mayon to go to the Museum and Observatory. Needless to say, we were IN the clouds. It was the coldest we experienced during our entire stay. I was surprised to meet people living on the Volcano. I'm guessing insurance is not a consideration ...
