Very interesting Mike, and the photos you included are impressive. It's hard to imagine how people are getting by with all that ash.

The volcano's effect on flights and other aspects of life have been regular occurrences since I've been here. I hope for everyone's sake that you're right that a major eruption is unlikely.

Thanks for the heads up!

Have you read Under the Volcano? I've tried many times and can never get into it. I'd really like to read it though.

I had no idea about this. Funny how little we hear in the news really. I’m curious if the hot kava rocks being hurled into the air are hitting people or buildings? Or just falling on the unpopulated sides of the volcano?

What Aguas Frescas did you and Victor drink from causing you both to sneak in romance into what otherwise might be cautionary story-writing? I have seen El Popo's peak right outside my plane window seat. In that moment, I focused on undying love (versus undying fury as you suggest). I am back. Hard not to. I agree with Victor. The visuals are stunning. Maybe it is time to see the movie Under The Volcano again.
