Weekend wanderlust: Taal, a glimpse of history

I was taught that Taal is the smallest active volcano when I was learning my geography via Sibika at Kultura.  When I was studying Heograpiya, Kasaysayan at Sibika (HeKaSi), I learned that Taal is a volcano inside a volcano.  According to my teachers, the lake surrounding the existing volcano is the original crater. Now that I am working, I discovered the town called Taal in the province of Batangas.

It was a supposed to be a Saturday trip but the good o'l weather went bad.  It rained so hard that I had to rethink my plans to satisfy my wanderlust. The thinking process wore me out.  I woke up the following morning and looked at the sky. A hint of a golden sun rays were beginning to illuminate the horizon.  I took a bath and packed Nikkie, iPpie and Serge.
