It's Smoking

I wrote three blogs today, my most prolific so far! I will keep this last one short because I'm almost running out of creative juices and my brain can't think of anything else but "zzzzz, zzzzz".

I went on a trekking trip to Mount Bromo in East Java Indonesia last weekend. I've never seen an active volcano up close before and watching smoke rise from the crater was truly breathtaking. Nevermind the smell of rotten eggs, or somebody who ate three cans of baked beans passing gas (okay, okay, too graphic). We woke up at 3:30AM to start hiking and catch the sunrise atop the volcano. The 3 kilometer trek to the mountain was eerie. There was nothing but a wide desert of ashes and random vegetation - it was like walking into twilight zone. The last part was a 250-step climb to the viewing deck. Here's what we saw from the top of the mountain...
