When my friend Nikki was here we went to visit the local volcano and had a blast no pun intended :) Everyone says it's dormant but there was definitely some heated activity happening up there letting me know not to trust what people say about volcanoes. It was really pretty though and fun to switch up the view--I always see the volcano from my house and now I can see my house from the volcano! Click here to see what the volcano looks like from Granada.

| The guide has us put a hand in this hole (that never turns out well under any circumstance, does it?). Piping hot steam was coming out. There were quite a few of these on the summit and most smelled like sulfur. Dormant my eye! |

| A perezoso (sloth)! I was so excited to see him even though he never moved for us to get a good shot. They told us in the beginning of the tour that we'd either see sloths or monkeys. I'm glad it was a sloth bc I've already seen plenty of monkeys here. |

| A bird of paradise. Note: not a bird, a plant. The guide needs to be a JW because he was describing about how balanced nature was and how with the destruction of just this one flower how multiple species would disappear. Apparently there's only one type of bee that pollinates it and one type of butterfly that eats its nectar and one type of bird that then eats the larvae of that butterfly so on and so forth. It really made me see Jehovah's wisdom in creation. |
