Volcano Conception

Last week our friendly neighborhood volcano gave a burp! A cloud of ash went up in the air and "snowed" a thin layer at camp.
This isn't a great picture but it gives you an idea of what it looked like.


Volcano Conception is on Ometepe Island in Lake Nicaragua. It's one of Nicaragua's highest (5,283 feet) and most active volcano's erupting at least 24 times since 1883.

Rachel,

I have enjoyed so much reading about your experience living in Nicaragua (and about your babies too). I am from Nicaragua but left when I was seventeen. Although I have gone to visit many times I still miss it. I moved from Miami last year to the Pacific Northwest (Seattle) and the change has been as dramatic as what you have probably experienced with your move. You can check out my blog at blogspot too.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
