Before and After...

We recieved some interesting photos from some friends here in Shell this morning. They depict a popular sight just outside of the town of Baños. It is a concrete creation of a parrot and a tucan. It gives good perspective as to how deep the lava flow is at this position. Also, a co-worker of mine named Steve, was driving home from Quito yesterday evening. During his drive across the flows, he said it was raining a little, and the lava flows were steaming from it, indicating that there is still some serious heat just beneath the surface.
