Pacaya Erupts

Pacaya Volcano erupted Thursday evening, May 27. The children called Charlie and I, who were in Xela, to say that ash was falling at our house.


The ash resembled coarse, black sand. The kids had fun playing in it.


It wasn't nearly as much fun when they needed to clean it up the next day!


It was made worse by the fact that it began raining Thursday night and all of the sand got wet. It was a huge mess, and we are hoping there are no more eruptions!


Scene in the nearby town of Villa Canales.
