mayon volcano has the most perfect cone, it is also one of the most active volcanoes in the world.

Sunset at Tolong Gapo, Sorsogon

if you want to see the perfect cone volcano in the world.

This is the land of my forefathers. :) I love this place. All their rice fields, “ilogs”, food and people—absolutely nice.

Everyone knows about Mt. Mayon, and I agree that its a a must see. But in Bicol you will find Bacacay beach. Its actually a black sand beach. Now for us Filipinos, we don’t really give a premium for dark colored sand, but one night I saw a feature about several foreigners goind to Bicol specifically for that. But overall the whole place is nice. The markets, the food, I forgot what you call the squshed fried bannana, but its good. And what about the quality metal work that they do, abaca weaved bags and sweets. Oh well if you can brave the 8 hour car drive its worth going to. Oh I forgot you can take the plane.
