Pele is Pissed Off!
Pele got wind of me coming back to the Big Island and she's pissed. This is the first explosion in Halema`uma`u since 1924. No lava plumes, but spewing ash is still impressive. It's also the first time since 1982 that there has been any eruption in the Kilauea caldera.
Visiting the volcano should be interesting. There's toxic fumes and the potential for things to explode. How can I not go?

I have the perfect pic for you. I can't seem to post it here, so I'll have to e-mail it to you and encourage you to post it!
Hope you're getting in some good swim practice! I went for a 20 mile bike in the rain (cuz i'm stupid) and it sucked.

You haven't updated. Did Pele scissor kick you into the volcano?

i survived the trip. i didn't have internet access while there. actually, i didn't want to pay $10 per day to have internet access, so i just lived without it.
i do have pictures tho, and will post those soon. and that pic from rebecca, which is awesome.
