I suck at updating, so here´s my lame attempt to make up for weeks, nay, months past... Here is an entry from my journal:
11/04/2005 (Masaya, Nicaragua)
Volcan Masaya... ¨La Boca del Infierno.¨ ¨The Mouth of Hell.¨ My first close-up view of an active volcano... I watched sulfurous smoke rising ominously... All around, there was evidence of the massive destruction that the many eruptions and explosions had caused over the years. Taken together, it was an awesome sight that inspired fear and wonder on my part. Making my way down the mountain, I saw that molten rock was still everywhere. And yet, life was springing forth from the very thing that had brought death and destruction.
Inspired by Lynda´s suggestion to think of some ¨goals¨or ¨things to do¨ in the course of my lifetime, I have decided to jot them down in this here journal.
___Goal # 1: witness lava flowing down the side of a volcano
