You ought to come over to Indonesia. You can get up close and real personal here.

One time on Bali, we decided we’d go view a volcano. But we were on vacation and weren’t paying attention to matters of dress. My son asked me if his tank top (he must have been around 10 at the time) and cut-off shorts with sandals would be okay. Sure! I forgot that a volcano is a MOUNTAIN. It gets COLD toward the tops of mountains.

My son is 23 now. I don’t think he’s forgiven me yet. LOL!

I’ll make a note of that! I’m in Melbourne so it’s a very doable vacation.

I discovered that when I was about eight. I made the same miscalculation regarding how hot it would be in the middle of August ... at the top of Pike's Peak!

There was snow banked up against the side of the building. We didn't stay there long; my mom got a killer headache.
