In between our annual visits to the Philippines, we manage to visit many interesting places here in the states as well. Of our many visits to the Philippines, we have only experienced Metro Manila and Bulacan together. We always plan to visit the other islands while in vacation, but we just never seem to make it that far because Metro Manila has so much to offer. One place in particular is Tagaytay which is where the Taal Lake is located. It is a higher altitude and therefore much cooler than metro Manila. Oh, I forgot to mention the volcano that sits in the middle of the lake. From the pictures I have seen so far, its’ really a sight to see.
