Closing out 2016: Pintabuo and the Farm

After surviving the typhoon and a few days at work, it time to see another natural disaster risk in one of the world's most at risk countries.  I made a return trip to Mt. Pinatubo, site of a terrible eruption in the 1990's that was recently reported to have dropped global temperatures by over a degree.  Today the volcano is a lot calmer and makes a nice (but long) day trip from Manila that involves leaving at 3AM, riding in old 4x4s and then hiking to the crater lake.  Not a bad 2nd to last day of 2016.








Following a disappointing Michigan loss to cap of a season - we headed to the Farm for a quiet new years eve and relaxing start to 2017.
