We climbed a volcano



On a trip to the island of Sumatra, Indonesia less than 2 years ago, Julie, myself, and several friends hiked up a volcano and took pictures sitting in the middle of its caldera.  We learned today that a volcano (Mt. Sinabung) erupted in northern Sumatra yesterday.  Not sure, but we think it might be the same one!  This volcano had been dormant for over 400 years.  We actually stayed at the Hotel Sinabung near the base of it in Berastagi.  Sort of surreal to think about...
