It was gently puffing the whole time we were there, but the wind blows toward the other side of the volcano, so you see the big smoky clouds on the opposite side but less so on the side were were on (I do have some close-ups of the smoke). One of our drivers said, "She is a-sleeping," so it was definitely not at its most active.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-60457988613755703422009-06-23T08:24:02.571-05:002009-06-23T08:24:02.571-05:00Is that a volcano in the foreground?

I had to stay behind while they went on a boat tour (because I had a killer migraine), but it wasn't a problem. You can see I had some pretty scenery for walking around & photographing flowers and birds, once I got the migraine under control. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-28794859377747603612009-06-17T22:51:41.076-05:002009-06-17T22:51:41.076-05:00Poor things :) but lovely scenery :)

We've had the A/C on for the better part of the last 3 months. <br /><br />Your husband sounds like mine. Is he the absent-minded professor type? Mine has a PhD and he acts like it. He's completely wacky. Speaking of OSU . . . we're both alums of the <i>other</i> OSU -- Oklahoma State University. So, we've got some OSU shorts, but I'm sure they're not quite the same colors. LOL<br /><br />Krista,<br /><br />Thanks. That's Arenal (on the opposite side of the volcano from the well-known observatory). It's a beautiful place.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-27349329780590995572009-06-16T17:09:26.124-05:002009-06-16T17:09:26.124-05:00Okay that's too funny!

I had to buy a pair of shorts on Mount Hood a few weeks ago because we were going down into the valley where it was in the high 80s and all I had was snow clothes. <br /><br />Also, my husband has a lot of clothes from the store at the university where he works because he's always forgetting things. He rides his bike and packs his work clothes. One time he grabbed my slacks instead of his. :) Thank goodness for the university store! He was at least able to wear OSU shorts for the day. <br /><br />Love your photo BTW!Alycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919057159829023714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-33058434842588449542009-06-16T14:53:03.842-05:002009-06-16T14:53:03.842-05:00Carrie,

It's the first place we've gone as a family and not had to buy an item or two of clothing because we packed badly. Because, you see, usually we head north. And, we never think to take a jacket. We have several jackets (and a couple of warm hats and sweatshirts) embroidered with the names of the places we visited -- not because we want to show off the fact that we've been to Alaska or wherever, but because we were freezing our patooties.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-41211707535883661882009-06-16T14:13:29.012-05:002009-06-16T14:13:29.012-05:00And admidst such beautiful scenery.And admidst such beautiful scenery.Carrie Khttp://mymiddlenameispatience.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
