Our professor, Nick, is back in town and things are starting to pick up. Tomorrow we head out to the volcano for some more sulfer dioxide measurements of explosions. Saturday we are going to some hot springs associated with the volcano for some measurements. We have spanish lessons once a week for free. We all study at night together. I have been reading some of the scholarly literature on the volcano here. I am trying to decide what I want my project to be on. We now know our way around, we know the best restaurants, we know a good taxi driver from a bad one. We know cool people. My friend George from high school is coming in march to visit. We are going to travel for a week. I have a sweet little itinerary lined up. It includes another volcano, ruins, lakes, islands, rivers, the beach, tacos, and agua frescas. Speaking of islands, I get to take a navy ship out to a volcanic island a couple hundred miles off the coast in March. The only settlement there, is a small Mexican navy base. We will doing some sort of research out there. We have been cooking our own food for dinner. So far I have had eggs and potatoes and yesterday I had some fresh bread with peanut butter, a cumcumber and unripe peach. It was nice. I have had a lot of chances to learn to cook in my life and I have never taken advantage of it. I think now it´s finally time. Tonight I really hope to find a place to watch the much anticapted BYU SDSU basketball game. Go cougars.
