Volcanos

One of the delights of living where we are (just southwest of Ciudad Vieja) are the neighboring volcanos. To the south, we have a view of Volcan Agua (water),

after which our apartment is named. To the west, we view Volcan Fuego (fire), the only active one of the three, and Volcan Acatenango (supposedly, place of nothing).

Many mornings all or part of all three volcanoes are covered in clouds. Sometimes, however, they appear in all their glory.

Both Agua and Acatenango are dormant. Fuego, however ocassionally puts on a show.

Agua is also easily visible from Antigua.

Thus far, our volcanos have been very quiet and polite neighbors.
