Yesterday I was driving home and saw in front of me another huge human lite fire burning away, one of a few lately. This beautiful country is sure facing some troubled times and watching this fire I sat wondering what the future will hold for Ecuador. The low oil prices has caused serious problems (unpopular taxes, rain forest selling) and who knows what will happen with the prices next. Now there is the huge rumblings of Cotopaxi, that will explode (but who knows when) causing major devastation, and all everyone can do is watch and wait. And let's not forget El Niño and the destruction it will cause this fall, ruining crops, floods, disease..
I guess all we can do is watch and wait and be prepared as possible. I just hope nature is not so hard on this country as it is predicted to be.
There have been many fires of recent, and although some have been purposely started it has not helped that is very very dry right now. And that smoking volcano is worrying too!
