another item off the bucket list

funny thing is, this wasn't even on my list this year. it was on last year's list, only i got bronchitis and didn't get to do it at the last minute. this jan, a BIG GROUP of Proctoids decided to conquer Pinatubo. i didn't really feel like going, but couldn't say no to my friends. good thing i did!

2 hours from MLA-SITE

1 hour BUMPY jeep ride
3 hours of...

walking and jumping over rocks
wading through shallow pools

packed lunch pinatubo styleswimming in sulfuric water
precarious boat ride to the "hot" area
40 minute trek back, 5 minute almost vertical climb up, 1 hour bumpy jeep ride again (felt like FOREVER), 1 hour car ride going the opposite direction- further north (go figure), 2 hours back.
Still TONS of fun! Laughtrip!!! :)
