Thank you to all of you who have contacted us in various ways to inquire about our safety in regards to the nearby erupting volcano, Mt. Merapi! We are still doing fine, and have only received a little ash fall. The above photo shows nearby Mt. Merbabu with Mt. Merapi erupting behind it, only 15 miles away from where the picture was taken. Mt. Merbabu has acted like a shield of sorts keeping most of the airborne material away from us which we are thankful for. Also, due to the prevailing east winds, you can see that most of the ash fall is heading to the west-southwest.
This is a bit of a zoom shot to highlight Mt. Merapi a little better. We are off from school this week as we are between units. I may head back in the direction of the volcano again some time this week and see if I can get some more pictures.
