Tagaytay

A beautiful view of Lake Taal and Volcano as seen from a community in Tagaytay. It was here that we visited a friend whom we met while at Haggai in Maui. He is a business man in Manila and owns a beautiful " retirement home" close to this look out. Lonely Planet describes this volcano as the smallest and deadliest. There are over 47 craters and 35 volcanic cones. The last explosion was 1977.
A couple of beauitful children who were out for a Sunday afternoon ride--they were very pleased to have their picture taken.


Another look at Taal Lake. It was a very windy day.

Fruit stands lined the highway to Tagaytay. You see oranges, bananas, pineapple, jack fruit. Pineapple was selling for 6 for 100 pesos. This is about two and a half Canadian dollars. I was sorry I couldn't buy a few boxes.
