Antigua volcanoes

I said I’d post pictures next time one of the volcanoes around here was visibly active. This morning a few puffs were coming out of Volcan de Fuego (Fire Volcano). It’s like this two or three times a week, not much really. This is the view from the little park on the other side of the neighbor’s house next door.

Volcan de Fuego last erupted big-time in 2012, forcing evacuation of 35,000 people just west of Antigua but not Antigua itself. You can google those pics. If you go down the street, you can see it’s bigger sister volcano, Acatenango, on the right. It last erupted in 1972. Here’s older picture we have.

I don’t have anything else to say. I was just posting a pic when something happened, as I said I would.
