bicol trip - 2010 august - day 2

pangalawang araw ng bicol trip...
eto ung bahay na tinirhan namin ... bahay ng family ni bunso... tawag ng mga tagarito pink house...


  
balak naming makita ang mayon volcano... nilista na ni sheena ung budget namin...



pero bago pa un, bumili muna kami ng ticket pauwi ng manila at baka maubusan kami... buti puedeng mag same day advance booking...


may nadaanan kaming bicol inasal... which was surprising kasi buong akala ko inasal is an ilonggo word or dish...







destination... cagsawa ruins... hopefully with a good view of the perfect cone of Mayon Volcano... maganda ung belltower... here it is silhouetted against the morning skies...



unfortunately, Mayon Volcano was hidden by a thick veil of clouds... only its long base can be seen from the vantage point of the belltower...


a little historical background tungkol sa church and the belltower now in ruins after a volcanic eruption almost two centuries ago...




more pictures of the belltower and grounds... which is above the site of the ruined church...








we were hoping that the clouds would start to disperse so we can see Mayon Volcano from top to bottom... alas, the clouds became denser and denser and almost obliterated the base of the volcano from our view...




so we decided to just concentrate on taking photos of the ruins and grounds...with camera tricks...




these are the upper walls of the old convent where priests and nuns perished during the eruption...












we call these series of photos as our jump for joy shots...










photoshoot ulit!!!
