Alma aftermath



Tropical Storm Alma dumped a ton of rain on us and generally complicated travel matters, but all in all I was lucky. Central America was hit pretty hard: deaths, disappearances, destroyed homes, landslides, etc.











Storms do make for colorful sunsets, as this shot taken from Isla Ometepe shows. You can see the sun setting behind what's left of the storm.


The island is spectacular. It's two volcanoes which produced so much lava they became attached. This is going to be a major tourist destination in the near future. The picture doesn't do it justice, but you get the idea.
