Arenal Volcano Eruption Journal - October 31st, Halloween Eruption

Halloween Night the Arenal Volcano was not disapointing - the weather cleared around 10:15 PM. These photos were taken from the Observatory Point at Los Lagos Hotel. The volcano was spewing car size boulders roughly every 15 minutes, as they tumbled down the steep slopes of the volcano the red hot rocks began to break up and left a trail of beautiful red light.

Epic Journey With a Friend

At Monteverde Lodge, we really appreciated that they placed water jugs in each room and offered ice and fresh fruit for the water each evening. This would be a great idea for other accommodations - we would be less inclined to buy water in plastic bottles for the room, and it would indicate that the tap water was great to drink (if that was the case).
