Volcano In Ecuador

Dear Diary,
Today I am going to a town called Riobamba, Ecuador. Where there is a beautiful mountain called Tungurahua. I was close to the mountain when it all of a sudden erupted.  I could see the lava coming down from the mountain. It was a beautiful site till it started to rain ash. Everyone there in Ecuador seemed fine with the volcano but I was pretty scared. The next day the sky was dark covered in clouds. It was still raining but this time a lot more. People who had farms were devastated because there crops were damaged. This was a devastating site for me because they had no where else to go besides stay at there farm.  Though going here was a beautiful site to see, I wish these people who had lost farming areas didn't have.

Sincerely,
JOrtega
