We
were frequent visitors to Tagaytay the years prior to the rapid
commercialization and (over)development of the city. While we still go
there occasionally, We have not been able to enjoy the city and its
environs as much as we did before. Nevertheless, we genuinely feel for
the people (the real residents but not necessarily for the
carpetbaggers) of Tagaytay and other cities and towns affected by the
eruption of the volcano. They deserve better and yet they should also
heed the advice of science over those of politicians who have taken
advantage of them and now claim innocence over what is perceived as a
lack of preparedness for such a calamity.

| Dawn over Taal - I took this photo from the balcony of what was our favorite bed & breakfast hotel in Tagaytay. I thought this showed a rather peaceful scene complete with the background of roosters giving everyone a wake-up call. |
I
had wanted to post an aerial shot of Taal volcano. I have one or more
somewhere in an old folder when the planes (not sure our origin) I were
on flew over the volcano. Unfortunately, these are probably in my older
computers or portable drives. I will for these and post them soon.
