Nov 2012: Flying to Brazil and seeing my first volcano

 

I reach Mexico Airport…lovely day.

 

And then take off.

the air is really muggy and smoggy

peering down at the farmland

that is one volcano

really? take a closer look

Yep, that’s a volcano all right. The chap next to me says that its Popocatépetl. Ok, wow, first view of a volcano.

then the plane banks, bye bye

a little lake

Another peak…

Its getting to be evening..

 

And the plane banks again.

Another lake but what’s that in the middle?

A warm blanket of clouds

What a pretty peak

with fingers of clouds crossing into the valleys

that is definitely a volcano

the valleys are a bit clearer

the sky is brilliant

 

Checking the fingers.

holes in the clouds

you missed the S…

I land in Sao Paulo..

 

A dog was in there, whining away…poor girl

 

And then this handle comes across, lol, only the handle. travelling light?

 

my armed driver collected me..passing the favelas..

And I have Ms. Rabbit to keep me company in my travels :)
