Fuego Vocanic Activity

Recently I posted some pictures of the volcano Fuego and her activity. 
Well, she has been at it again. 
 On our morning walk yesterday we noticed more activity. 
 Since we can't see the volcano from our house,
David walked back to a place where he could and took some pictures.


 
We left Antigua at noon for a meeting in the capital.
Fuego was smoking so much as we left that we returned to town briefly to get a better look.
We almost returned home to get the camera and take some more pictures
because it was a really awesome site. 
 You know it is really an awesome site when the locals are standing in the street taking pictures.
We were in a meeting all afternoon in the capital and did not know that it has really erupted
until we were almost home around 8:30 and received a phone call.
The wind carried the smoke and ash to the south and west so we are not affected here in Antigua
- at least we did not see anything as we returned in the dark.
 It was too cloudy or smoky toward the volcano to see it last night.

Click this link to see more pictures and details written in English about the eruptions
that ocurred during the day while we were gone. 
Evidently it was a quite show.

 
We took these pictures about 30 minutes ago on our morning walk this morning.
Looks like Fuego's indigestion has settled and she is just back to puffing.


 
Thanks for being concerned about us, checking on us, and praying for us.
Continue to pray for those over 30,000 who were directly affected by yesterday's display.
