Merry Christmas everyone! As promised, we are debuting today the series Eat Pray Love Sundays. First destination is in Daraga, Albay. Have a nourishing holiday!

| Eat: Bicol Express |
Eat. Bicol Express.
Three distinct ingredients make up this tasty dish--bagoong (shrimp paste), gata (coconut milk), and pork. Of course, what's a Bicolano dish without a generous serving of chilies?

| Pray: Cagsawa Ruins |
Pray. Cagsawa Ruins.
After the eruption of Mayon Volcano in 1814, much of this baroque church was destroyed, with only the belfry left standing for travelers to appreciate.
 |
| Love: Sculptures |
 |
| Love: Finished Product |
Love. Sculptured Souvenirs.
Filipino ingenuity is evidenced by their craft. By the road on the way to the ruins, a local sculptor uses his skills to create mini-versions of the volcano and the ruins as souvenirs. Stones used are taken from Mayon Volcano.

Eat Pray Love Sundays is a series I'm doing, highlighting one destination on how it nourishes travelers and locals alike.
"Eat" features a location's food; how it nourishes the physical body.
"Pray" pertains to anything about worship or nourishing one's spirit.
'Love" is such a broad topic that it covers the rest--people, nature, culture. Those that nourish the soul.
Next Sunday, I'll be putting Sri Lanka on the spotlight!
