July 10
We arrived last night at about 10pm. About 4 miles out we saw light and thought it was the moon. But no, it was the volcano! Every few minutes there was a flare - nature's fireworks on display! We covered almost 450 miles in just about 58 hours - pretty fast passage.
Today we checked in, did a tour of the village and the school. The children sang to us. The island is beautiful, breezy - beautiful foliage. Tonight we go up to the volcano. I'll write about that later, provided of course we don't perish in a fiery eruption.
Off to climb the volcano.....
