Chambo.

We escaped the ash coming from Volcan Tungurahua on Saturday, and went to Chambo. It is a beautiful little farming town about 30 minutes from Riobamba. We spent the afternoon hiking along the green hills {and taking photos}. It was refreshing.





Volcano Updates: They thought Tungurahua was going to blow last week, but it never did. It has been erupting for the past 6 years, and occasionally has more activity than at other times. We are not in danger, although the church has urged us to keep a suitcase packed in case we get evacuated. We have purchased plenty of water and food to last us 3 days in case we have to stay inside our apartment for a few days (if the ash gets too bad).
