The fan whirs behind me, yet my skin is not cooled. It remains sticky with sweat and glistens, in tune with the stale, toasty and humid air. Little remains of my composure. Feeling uncivil, unfriendly and impatient, my caged temper is ready to explode. Yes, my air conditioning is still not fixed ... yet, anyway. But fortunately, help is finally on it's way - Yay!
It felt appropriate to upload these pictures of Volcano Poas at this time, considering the heat challenges I've undergone this week. These were taken while I was in Costa Rica this year ...
During our ascent, we smelled the not-so-pleasant sulphur air, but I still found it kinda' cool :). As you can see from these photos, this volcano is still active, yet relatively calm. I've always wanted to see a volcano, so feel blessed that my dream has finally been realized.
This is the coolest thing. And those are great shots! Seeing a volcano (active, I've seen Vesuvius from a distance) would be so amazing. I'm so happy you got to experience it!
ReplyDeleteYes, it truly was amazing. Thanks! Me too :)
