Smoke...

Just thought of another reason why sometimes I feel like I'm camping...the smell of fire.  Sometimes it's the smell of burning leaves, sometimes the smell of burning trash and sometimes the smell of the mountainside burning.  In April and May there is a lot of smoke in the air here, first of all it's the dry season so sometimes things just like to catch on fire and it's also when they burn the sugar cane fields.  So not only is there smoke in the air but also ashes floating around...it doesn't snow here, it ashes.

Last night the mountainside was it flames...I tried to take a picture but it did no justice.  It's quite the sight to look out your front door and see the mountain aflame.
