Volcan Pacaya

I jokingly commented that she must be on fire but when we stopped at a large section of cooler lava, she saw that her shoes had actually melted a little.

Volcan Pacaya

This was an amazing experience as we watched molten lava flow out from the side of the volcanoes cone and roll down the hill side. We climbed until we were within a few feet of the glowing; molten lava then began a hasty retreat down the mountain. A large tour group had come up behind us and I heard one of the women remarking she smelled something burning.

Antigua

Our final adventures in Guatemala were a return to Antigua for a chance to unwind and do some souvenir shopping at the colorful markets. Then a trip to and hike up Volcan Pacaya.
captnemo > "fossil falls"
The features of Fossil Falls are the product of volcanic activity. As recent as 20,000 years ago, lava from local volcanic eruptions flowed into the Owens River channel. Later the river eroded the lava forming the polished and sculptured features that now can be seen at Fossil Falls.

Like Captain Nemo's voyage's into the sea, we drift the endless currents of the internet. Where will we surface next? Only the Captain truly knows.
Dive in with Captain Nemo.




Professor Aronnax: "You cannot do this! This is uncivilized!"

Captain Nemo: "I am not what is called a civilized man, professor. I have done with society for reasons that seem good to me, therefore I do not obey its laws."
