Fun times in a Real Volcano!


Hi 3D Erika and friends.

We had such a nice time yesterday. We had a very nice lunch at a very fancy restaurant between the two Pitons in Soufriere. Everyone is very proud of the Pitons. They are a national symbol here. The Pitons were considered sacred to the island's first inhabitants, the Arawaks and the Caribs. They are two huge volcanic mountains.


This is where we had lunch. Isn't it pretty? Jay didn't really want his picture taken, but Karen did it anyway. I think she is funny.





Well you will not believe what we did after lunch. We went right into a real volcano. It is right next to the Pitons in Soufriere which is on the western part of the island. You can look on the map to see where we were. The western part of the island is known for its beauty.

First we went to the Mineral Springs. It is so beautiful there. The springs are very warm because the water is heated in the volcano!! Lenny is our friend and couldn't wait to hold us for the video. Everyone had so much fun with us.




Anyway, we went right into the volcano. It is the worlds only drive-in volcano. How scary is that! Karen said not to worry because the volcano is dormant and we would likely be safe.


Anyway, we went into a stream where there are pools of very hot water and lots of mud from the ashes of the volcano.


Jay wanted to cover us with mud, but Karen said we could only watch here because she didn't want us to get dirty.


Karen, Jay and Kevin got mud all over their bodies! We all laughed very hard when we saw how silly they looked!

  1. Dear Flat Erika,
    How cool it is that you got to visit a real volcano! Karen is sooooo funny with her video! Looks like the 3-Ds are really enjoying the volcano's resources. Good thing you didn't try the mud. I'm sure it's not as good for your paper as it is for the 3-D skin!
