This is Mayon volcano now (picture on the right). I took it from the terrace of our hotel room on the morning of April 2, minutes before we boarded the ferry boat going to Virac, Catanduanes. The last time I saw it was 7 years ago on the same trip to Catanduanes.

From afar, I can see the smoke coming out from its hole. It's very beautiful! As the morning sun casts its light on Mayon, the more beautiful it becomes....it's totally bewitching.

It was my mom's first time to see Mayon. She told me it's really beautiful that's why she can't take off her eyes on it. Actually, she fell in love with it.
