The earth at the center of the earth

I littered today---I left a little marble in a volcano in another volcano. It was a gift from my inspiring old happy friend Rafael Jesus Gonzalez. Little marbles of the earth flow through him, he has many and gives many. I took mine with me to the Philippines. My day lives in Tagaytay City, just a kilometer from Lake Taal. The lake was formed after Taal Volcano blew its top a few aeons ago. The site stayed active and another volcano formed in the lake. It is called Volcano Island and Taal Island. It blew its top a few aeons ago and Crater Lake formed inside it. Crater Lake stinks of sulfur, and parts of it are hot enough to boil an egg. It has a small island in the middle, Vulcan Point, the largest island in a lake in an island in a lake in an island in an ocean on Earth.

I brought the marble inside to create a little nest for it. From Tagaytay City you've got a ~5km drive about 700m down to ~sea level. Taal Island as a 20 minute boat ride, and the hike from the beach up to the rim and down into the crater is about an hour. If you ever go, you don't need a guide (could help, not neccessary) and don't pay more than 1500 pesos for the boat ride. Also, Wikipedia says that you shouldn't really be in the crater at all: "the Main Crater remains off-limits because hazardous steam-driven explosions may occur, along with the possible build-up of toxic gases. Areas with hot ground and steam emission such as portions of the Daang Kastila Trail are considered hazardous."[1]

Once you are in the crater, it is harder to get to the inner inner rock, Vulcan Point. The Point is near the edge of the lake at one point that I couldn't reach with what I brought. But I found a smaller rock just-in the lake and I left my marble on it. It is a little Earth, but it is the only Earth in a lake in an island in a lake in an island in an ocean on Earth.
